How can I set the sanpshot name before I use get/setVariable

[bobbook]

I use VLC in html to play video and make a botton to get snapshot.

VLC version is 0.8.5

It is work to play video and get snapshot file in the "My Picture" folder.

But I have a question about the snapshot image name and type.

Can I set the snapshot image name/type before I create it?????

Thanks for answer my question.

If you run VLC outside of the web browser, you can set the format in Preferences (Video main page). This will stay when you are running in html. I don't think you can ever set the filename though, it will either have a timestamp or sequential index in the file name.

Thanks for your help.

Now I know how to set the image format and folder.

My code

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT language=JScript> function doGo(targetURL) { var options = new Array(":input-repeat=1"); document.vlc.addTarget(targetURL, options, 4+8, -666); }; doGo(http://127.0.0.1/aaa.wmv'); </SCRIPT> <input type="button" value="SNAPSHOT" onclick='var X = document.vlc.getVariable("key-snapshot"); document.vlc.setVariable("key-pressed", X);'>

But is it possiable to setup image format by Javascript?

If I want to use the same page in another PC, it means I have to setup again.

There are 3 options you can put in your options array when you add each item to the playlist.

Video snapshot directory (or filename):
--snapshot-path=<string>

Video snapshot file prefix:
--snapshot-prefix=<string>

Video snapshot format:
--snapshot-format={png,jpg}

So you could say

var options = new Array(":input-repeat=1", "--snapshot-path=c:\documents and settings", "--snapshot-prefix=MyPic", "--snapshot-format=jpg");

I'm pretty sure you can go without quotes inside an option string like I did even though c:\documents and settings has a space in it but if that doesn't work try single or double quotes.
