The VideoLAN Forums

For many years I have been developing a big software which makes use of the excellent libVLC library. However I have a problem with one particular libVLC function that I use a lot, in the following way:

libvlc_video_take_snapshot (mp, 0, snapshotpath, 0, 0);

It used to work perfectly in the past, but unfortunately, since version 3 of VLC this function only produces plain green rectangles. Consequently I must stick to version 2.2.6.
Could this bug be fixed ?

Could this bug be fixed ?

The best way to get bugs fixed is to fix it yourself. The second best way is to make a good complete bug report at https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues with all your info (hardware specs, media input, logs, etc).

Add your info to https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/24721
