I connected to camera with this command :

Code: Select all

axVLCPlugin21.playlist.add("dshow://", "Logitech Webcam",null); axVLCPlugin21.playlist.play();

And grabbed the snapshot using this command :

Code: Select all

axVLCPlugin21.video.takeSnapshot();

But this command saves the pictures in the local temp folder and I couldn't set destination folder

try giving the file path name under "null", null is always the option. provide your desired path in "file+_path"

i suppose it may work.

I tried to take a snapshot in Visual Studio 2010 with c#

with "video.takeSnapshot()" i get the error H_RETURN E_FAIL.

Can somebody help me?

Hi,

you can use this method to capture the image..
and the image is saved in default directory ( ..\myDocuments\pictures\ )

Code: Select all

private void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { axVLCplugin1.setVariable("key-pressed", vlc.getVariable("key-snapshot")); }

But can any one please gimme the code to change the default directory ..!

Dear,
Where is the default tempory location for the snapshots?
Did you solve this issue because I have the same problem.

Thanks!

Though probably a bit late VLC seems to save images in the current directory

I use the following in C#

System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Properties.Settings.Default.DefaultImageDirectory);
axVLCPlugin21.video.takeSnapshot();

Where Properties... is an application defined path, of course CHDIR will do the same.
