Hello,

is taking snapshots possible with web plugin? The documentation seems to be out of date. How about Webchimera, is it possible with webchimera plugin?

WebChimera does not supports snapshots yet. But maybe some trick possible within QML - don't sure.

Btw, questions about WebChimera better ask at http://ask.WebChimera.org

OK, but is the snapshot feature supported in VLC web plugin currently? I assume no?

As I know it was implemented only in ActiveX version of Vlc Web Plugins, but don't sure if it works now.

The most of the documentation should be up to date. I have added now the missing method to the documentation:

As I know it was implemented only in ActiveX version of Vlc Web Plugins, but don't sure if it works now.
Yes, it's only implemented in ActiveX:

Code: Select all

vlc.video.takeSnapshot();
Note: The method doesn't work correctly in v2.2.1 and earlier, but in the nightly builds.

So I'm guessing it will only work on IE?
