How to take a snapshot in vlc QT?

Question

Hello I have built VLC Qt Library in QT 5.5.1 on Ubuntu. Now I want to add snapshot feature in it. Is there anyway or any idea? Please mention. If you have even little bit of idea.

you should use the VlcVideo class in this library. at first create a new object from this class. then use this function:

bool VlcVideo::takeSnapshot (   const QString &     path    )   const

you can find more details about the VlcVideo class from this link: https://vlc-qt.tano.si/reference/1.1/classVlcVideo.html#a4f3a741285dd9030f76bb996eaa011d4

a very simple code can be like this:

#include "MayClass.h"
#include "VLCQtCore/Video.h"
void MayClass::initMembers()
{
    _instance = new VlcInstance(VlcCommon::args(), this);
    _player = new VlcMediaPlayer(_instance);
    _video = new VlcVideo(_player);
}
void MayClass::takeSnapShot(QString filename)
{
    _video->takeSnapshot(filename);
}
