Failed to convert image for snapshot with LibVlc 4.0

Greetings,
Using a similar technique as the link below, my thumbnailer works well in 3.0 but fails in 4.0 (~may 2020 build).
https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/ma ... lc-thumb.c
log:
[000001a1287bec20] main filter error: Failed to create video converter

Any ideas what might be happening?

I don't know about this specific problem, I just wanted to mention there's a new native thumbnailer API provided with LibVLC 4.x that might be useful to you, look for e.g. libvlc_media_thumbnail_request_by_time. It's much easier IMO than doing set position and waiting for position changed and snapshot changed events like you're doing here.

Thank you for your input sherington, I've looked at vlc_thumbnailer_RequestByTime and it seems like something I would use eventually. I dont see a mechanic to output the file so it would be great if there is any example I could chew on. 4.0 seems to be under heavy development so it would be best that the thumbnailer solution works in 3.0 and 4.0 as well. Hopefully, with the log above, VLC Jedi masters could clear this up easily. I'm still in the migration process and a few things still needs to be resolved before ditching 3.0 completely.

thank you mfkl, to be clear, the thumbnailer code works well with libvlc 3.0 C++ but the same code fails with libvlc 4.0 C++, see log:

but fails in 4.0 (~may 2020 build).
4.0 is nightly. Always try latest build (todays).

Hi mfkl, I did but I'm essentially using the same C++ code and the migration (3.0 to 4.0) has several issues. Either the mechanics are broken or fundamental changed so it's hard to tell as there is, to my knowledge, no source code examples that are up to date or that could be compiled on Windows without going to tedious hula hoops. No disrespect here, just saying. Point in case, render to texture is working as of May build and doesn't with today's build, with or without frame buffers. I'd be glad to go through all of the issues I'm struggling with eventually.
As for the original post, if someone could confirm that this works as intended with 4.0, I think it would be the simplest way to go. But then again, no render to texture with today's build so I'm kind of stuck.

Re: Failed to convert image for snapshot with LibVlc 4.0

Well, I had a bit of time to look into this and what is broken until today is that libvlc_video_get_size always returns 0,0. The only way to get the size of the video with 4.0 is by parsing the video track.
In all cases, taking snapshots does work beautifully without changing any code now.
Thank you all for your support.
