I wrote a simple addon to take screenshots using a keymapped key to runscript. The screenshot is stored next to the video as fanartnn.jpg or in an extrafanart subfolder as screenshotnn.jpg. This might get you started.
python:
def get_screenshot(self, use_folderarts: bool) -> None:
"""takes a screenshot and saves file as jpg in appropriate folder
Args:
use_folderarts (bool): switch between extrafanart and fanartnn styles
"""
if (xbmc.getCondVisibility('VideoPlayer.Content(episodes)')
or xbmc.getCondVisibility('VideoPlayer.Content(files)')):
current_folder = xbmc.getInfoLabel('Player.Folderpath')
else:
current_folder = xbmc.getInfoLabel('Player.Folderpath')
if (not xbmc.getCondVisibility('Player.HasMedia')
or xbmc.getCondVisibility('Player.IsInternetStream')):
self.log('No valid save location for screenshot', LOG_LEVEL[1])
return
self.log(f'Current playing media folder path: {current_folder}')
current_folder = current_folder.replace('\\', '/')
if use_folderarts:
shot_folder = current_folder + 'extrafanart/'
else:
shot_folder = current_folder
unc_folder = shot_folder.lstrip('smb:')
if not os.path.exists(unc_folder):
os.mkdir(unc_folder)
self.log(f'Created new folder {unc_folder}')
str_shot_folder = '\"' + shot_folder + '\"'
# set the screenshot folder in Kodi
response = xbmc.executeJSONRPC('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", '
'"method":"Settings.SetSettingValue",'
'"params": {'
'"setting": "debug.screenshotpath", '
'"value": %s}, '
'"id":1}' % str_shot_folder)
if 'result' in response:
xbmc.executebuiltin('TakeScreenshot')
notify_dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
notify_dialog.notification('Screenshot','','',1000)
shot_pattern = re.compile(r'screenshot(\d+)\.png')
jpg_shot_pattern = re.compile(r'screenshot(\d+)\.jpg')
fanart_pattern = re.compile(r'fanart(\d+)')
xbmc.sleep(500) #ensure screenshot has been saved
screenshot_files: list = [png_file for png_file in os.listdir(unc_folder)
if shot_pattern.fullmatch(png_file)]
maxfile: int = 0
jpgmaxfile: int = 0
# get list of all screenshotnnnn.jpg files in folder and find max nnnn
jpg_files: list = [jpg_file for jpg_file in os.listdir(unc_folder)

os.remove(unc_folder + file)

self.log(f'{newfile} added to extrafanart folder', LOG_LEVEL[2])
else:

I guess you would need to use "Player.GetItem" JSON method instead of Player.FolderPath and also ensure you have read/write access to the folders.
