The problem is that I put the video on pause to make the snapshot.

your main problem that you do not know when vlc is "ready" at the correct time after you call setTime()? Yes, it is exactly that. I did not see any events firing to say what it was doing so I'm not sure what you can do about this to be honest. Ok, so there is no solution. Thanks you for h...
