In my flutter desktop application I am playing video using dart_vlc package. I want to take image frames (like screenshot) from video file of different video positions. At first I tried with screenshot package where I found two problems.

  1. It takes screenshot of the NativeVideo (A widget for showing video) widget only, but not includes the image frame inside the widget.
  2. And video control buttons (play, pause, volume) comes up in the screenshot which I don't want.

There's some other packages for exporting image frames from video such as export_video_frame or video_thumbnail but both of them are not supported in Windows. I want to do the same thing they do in Windows.

So how to get image frames from a video file playing in a video player in Windows?

dart_vlc package itself provides a function to take snapshots from a video file currently paying in the video player. The general structure is

videoPlayer.takeSnapshot(file, width, height)

Eaxmple:

videoPlayer.takeSnapshot(File('C:/snapshots/snapshot1.png'), 600, 400)

This function call captures the video player's current position as an image and saves it in the mentioned file.
