I need to take snapshots of a stream periodically in background.
And i found that the commands follows in command line may solve my problem.

Code: Select all

vlc --video-filter=scene --vout=dummy --aout=dummy --scene-path=$path

However, when i apply it as options of playing media, it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

headlessMediaplayer.playMedia($STREAM_URL, "video-filter=scene","vout=dummy","aout=dummy","scene-path=$PATH");

By the way, i'm using vljc to implement it.
Is there something wrong with my options?
Thanks!

Solution was found!
Options should be add to the MediaPlayerFactory's constructor.

Code: Select all

MediaPlayerFactory factory = new MediaPlayerFactory("--video-filter=scene", "--vout=dummy", "--aout=dummy", "--scene-path=$path");
MediaPlayer player = factory.newHeadlessMediaplayer();
player.playMedia("$url");
