Snapshot URL for Extra Stream

[dpavlicek]

I am looking to take a snapshot on my Extra Stream (VGA Channel) via the SDK and return a JPG. My Main Channel is currently set to its highest resolution, and I would like to leave it that way.

I have tried the <URL>/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi a number of different ways, and it looks like the snapshot function only works off of the Main channel and its resolution.

Just curious if anyone has a work around. I tried the MJPG snapshot that can access the extra stream, but I need a JPG quickly and don't want to parse the snapshot out of the MJPG stream.

Thanks,
Dave

Perhaps you could use API Set encode config to change resolution, etc(API page 38), take snapshot, and change back to original encode settings.
