Parameters

options Optional

An object containing the following members:

frameIndex Optional

An integer representing the index of the frame to decode. Defaults to 0 (the first frame).

A boolean defaulting to true. When false indicates that for progressive images the decoder may output an image with reduced detail.

Return value

A promise that resolves with an object containing the following members:

image

A VideoFrame containing the decoded image.

complete

A boolean, if true indicates that image contains the final full-detail output.

Exceptions

If an error occurs, the promise will resolve with following exception:

Returned if any of the following conditions apply:

  • close is true, meaning close() has already been called.
