Screenshot of active stream? - A.T.E. - 2023-10-28

Hello,
I would like to take a screenshot of the stream that I am watching.
For that, I have modified Userdata/keymaps/remote.xml so that it contains a line reading:

Code:
<keymap>
  <global>
    <remote>
     <blue>Screenshot</blue>
    </remote>
  </global>
</keymap>

With that, whenever I press the blue button on my TV remote control, a screenshot is taken.
However, this function is not working if a stream is playing: a screenshot file is generated, but it is empty (a black 11 KB image).
The same thing happens if I make the screenshot from the Kodi web interface: http://<address>:8080/#lab/screenshot
I have tried to go in depth, but I have found out that apparently screenshot commands (successful or not) are not being logged in .kodi/temp/lodi.log (at least by default).
Can anybody help?

My Kodi setup: Raspberry Pi 2, LibreELEC, Kodi 19.5, TV with HDMI-CEC
