Hauppauge Capture

CaptureStatus

 

The CaptureStatus function returns an integer value that indicates if the plugin is busy snapping images and what it is currently doing.  Calls to the TakePicture and SwitchCamera functions will be ignored while the plugin is in the process of capturing images.  Also, calls to MotionDetected for zones that are armed will be ignored while the plugin is capturing images.

 

The following values for the status indicate what the plugin is doing:

 

Value Function plugin is currently performing
0 Plugin idle (not busy)
1 Request to capture image from preview form
2 Image capture started
4 Pre capture event called
5 Image capture delay activated
6 Primary image capture started
7 Adding overlays to image for primary image
8 Activated time for additional images
9 Starting Purge files check
10 Starting Sort for Purge files check
11 Purging files in Purge files check
12 Saving name of last image taken
101 Capturing additional images (Last 2 digits indicate current image #)

201

301 Activated delay time for additional images (Last 2 digits indicate current image #)

 

  

CaptureRetryCount

This property returns a value that indicates the number of times the plugin encountered problems during a save image operation.  When this value hits 3, the TerminateUtilities function is called in an attempt to reset the WinTV card.
