get video snapshot

[ymmmvp36]

hi,is there someway to get the snapshot of the video?

There is libvlc_video_take_snapshot, but not exposed to Dart yet. You may open issue for this, so that we can track it.
I cannot give any expected date for this to land however, we're still working to make everything better on Linux & macOS specifically.
Thanks.

thank you.in the version 0.0.8. i put video under the widget RepaintBoundary. when the playbackController tells me the video is playing. i will use the RepaintBoundary to get the image. i found in the version 0.1.4 this method does not work. the RepaintBoundary cannot get the texture content.do u have some idea about this?

@ymmmvp36 in earlier versions (when texture support for Windows was not available), I used to decode raw image into Flutter's Image (decodeImageFromPixels) widget, but now the video playback uses Texture widget. This is much much more performant than before however. Possibly it is the reason.

This is now available on master

dart_vlc/ffi/lib/src/player.dart

Lines 273 to 276 in 70901d9

	/// Saves snapshot of a video to a desired [File] location.
	void takeSnapshot(File file, int width, int height) {
	PlayerFFI.takeSnapshot(this.id, file.path.toNativeUtf8(), width, height);
	}
