A plugin for clappr which adds a button to capture a base64 jpeg image of the current frame. Emits an event with the base64 data which you can use elsewhere in your application (sending to a remote endpoint, etc)
Add both Clappr and the capture plugin scripts to your HTML:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.clappr.io/latest/clappr.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/clappr-capture-plugin@latest/dist/clappr-capture-plugin.js"></script>
</head>You can also find the project on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/clappr-capture-plugin
Then just add ClapprCapturePlugin into the list of plugins of your player instance.
var player = new Clappr.Player({
source: "http://your.video/here.mp4",
plugins: [ClapprCapturePlugin]
});That's it, a button will be shown on the media control to enable capture. This only works with playback tech's that use a <video> tag to display video
To capture the event, just listen to the capture:base64 event on the mediaControl container:
player.core.mediaControl.on('capture:base64', (b64) => {
var myWindow = window.open("", "PictureWindow");
myWindow.document.write(`<img src="${b64}" />`);
});To run the demo start a web server with the root directory being the root of this repo, and then browse to the "index.html" file in the "demo" folder. The demo will open a new window with the captured image after the button has been clicked
