Currently I am trying to use VLC as activeX plugin in Delphi 2007.
I already succeed streaming from RTSP and trigger snapshot, but I can't change snapshot-format into jpg file. Currently the snapshot is in .bmp format.

Bellow the coding
i:=VLCPlugin21.playlist.add(pchar('rtsp://admin:admin@192.168.1.1:80/0'),null,null);
VLCPlugin21.playlist.playItem(i);
VLCPlugin21.playlist.togglePause();
VLCPlugin21.video.takeSnapshot;
VLCPlugin21.playlist.stop;

How to access snapshot-format in VLC activeX plugin?
Any help will be appreciated...

Why are you using the ActiveX plugin? You need this to run in a browser?

From https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help

Code: Select all

  --snapshot-format={png,jpg,tiff} 
                                 Video snapshot format
          Image format which will be used to store the video snapshots

You need to give that option to libvlc using the activeX api.

Thank you for your reply.
I currently using delphi language and not running in browser. Above the coding in delphi, but i have problem setting snapshot-format using vcl in delphi because the properties does not exist.
Any help will be very appreciate..
