Hello all,

I am implementing a feature in scene filter for my study purpose. I want to capture the screen shot at a particular X second in a minute.
I have implemented user input in GUI to get that X second(time at which the screenshot to be captured).
"This X second has to be checked with the playback time."
I want help here,how to import the playback time function in "scene.c" which header file and function should i include.
currently i tried this below implementation which is working:
if(strm_sec == (double)(p_sys->i_time1)) //p_sys->i_time1 : user input in GUI to get that X second.
//strm_sec is a local counter which convert the frame count to sec which is not precious as playback time.
{
SnapshotRatio( p_filter, p_pic );
p_sys->i_frames++;
return p_pic;
}
when i googled for this, i came across hackerguide/variables. They gave a example for volume "float volumeStep = var_InheritFloat( p_this, "volume-step" );"
I want to import the playback function in scene filter module.

If something is not clear please let me know.
please help me.
Thanking you....

It is not very clear what you want. In video filters, the date field of each picture represents the intended display time.

Thank you for your reply...

In scene filter module.
I want to retrieve current playback position(not the system time), so that when the current playback position matches with my desired time, screen capture should occur.
I am more interested to get the seconds from the playback time. which function should i use to get the current playback position????

I read in another post saying that, currently in video filter module this feature is not available but demux module has the information about playback position.
But i really dont know which function holds this playback information....

Please help

can i use the below function to get the playback time??? correct me if i am wrong,
int64_t i_time = var_GetTime( p_input, "time" )

if so how to get the seconds parameter from it????
