Last Updated :
29 Aug, 2020
In this article we will see how we can enable or disable the single media from the Instance class in the python vlc module. VLC media player is a free and open-source portable cross-platform media player software and streaming media server developed by the VideoLAN project. Instance act as a main object of the VLC library with the Instance object we can create media player, list player or any other player available in VLC. Instance class the base classed used in VLC to create various objects. We can add multiple media to the instance, so by disabling the video that video doesn’t play.
In order to do this we will use vlm_set_enabled
method with the Instance object
Syntax : instance.vlm_set_enabled(name, True)
Argument : It takes media name and bool as argument
Return : It returns 0 on success, -1 on error
Below is the implementation
import vlc
import time
player = vlc.Instance()
media_list = player.media_list_new()
media_player = player.media_list_player_new()
media = player.media_new( "death_note.mkv" )
media_list.add_media(media)
media_player.set_media_list(media_list)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
player.vlm_set_enabled( "death_note" , False )

Another example
Below is the implementation
import vlc
import time
player = vlc.Instance()

media_list.add_media(media)
media_player.set_media_list(media_list)
