I connected to camera with this command :

Code: Select all

axVLCPlugin21.playlist.add("dshow://", "Logitech Webcam",null); axVLCPlugin21.playlist.play();
And grabbed the snapshot using this command :

Code: Select all

axVLCPlugin21.video.takeSnapshot();
But this command saves the pictures in the local temp folder and I couldn't set destination folder :-|

* Private message
try giving the file path name under "null", null is always the option. provide your desired path in "file+_path"

i suppose it may work.

Though probably a bit late VLC seems to save images in the current directory

I use the following in C#

System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Properties.Settings.Default.DefaultImageDirectory);
axVLCPlugin21.video.takeSnapshot();

Where Properties... is an application defined path, of course CHDIR will do the same.
