Web plugin and snapshot

[pharao]

Hello,

is taking snapshots possible with web plugin? The documentation seems to be out of date. How about Webchimera, is it possible with webchimera plugin?

[RSATom]

WebChimera does not supports snapshots yet. But maybe some trick possible within QML - don't sure.

Btw, questions about WebChimera better ask at http://ask.WebChimera.org

OK, but is the snapshot feature supported in VLC web plugin currently? I assume no?

[RSATom]

As I know it was implemented only in ActiveX version of Vlc Web Plugins, but don't sure if it works now.

[pharao]

OK. Can you say what is the name of the method for taking snapshot for ActiveX version?

[RSATom]

IVLCVideo::takeSnapshot

[RSATom]

Snapshot feature now available in WebChimera Plugin v0.2.8: https://github.com/RSATom/WebChimera/re ... ag/v.0.2.8

The most of the documentation should be up to date. I have added now the missing method to the documentation:

As I know it was implemented only in ActiveX version of Vlc Web Plugins, but don't sure if it works now.

Yes, it's only implemented in ActiveX:

Code: Select all

vlc.video.takeSnapshot();

Note: The method doesn't work correctly in v2.2.1 and earlier, but in the nightly builds.

So I'm guessing it will only work on IE?
