[Gambas-user] MediaPlayer

[Charlie Ogier]

Hi Mike,

Your program worked fine for me. Maybe the problem is how you set up 
your Form. I have rewritten the code to create the necessary component 
on the form. Try this code in a new 'graphical application'.

''Needs gb.media (and a webcam!)

MP As New MediaPlayer
PictureBox1 As PictureBox
HBox1 As HBox

     .Width = 700
     .Padding = 5

   With PictureBox1 = New PictureBox(Me) As "PictureBox1"
     .Expand = True
   End With

   With HBox1 = New HBox(Me)
     .Height = 28
     .Invert = True
   End With

   With Button2 = New Button(HBox1) As "Button2"
     .Width = 120
     .Text = "&Take photo"
     .Picture = Picture["icon:/22/camera"]
   End With

   MP.URL = "v4l2:///dev/video0"
   MP.SetWindow(PictureBox1)
   MP.Play()

End

Public Sub Button2_Click()

   Dim theImage As Image = MP.Video.Image

   theImage.Save(Application.Path &/ Format(Now, "ddmmyyyy_hhnnss") & 
".jpg")
   PictureBox1.Image = theImage

End
