In this article we will see how we can get the media at the given index in the MediaList object 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. MediaList object contains the multiple media, in other words it has list of media which can be used with MediaListPlayer object to play these multiple media object. Multiple media can be added to the media list object with the help of add_media method, so each media is lying at their respective index in the list.
In order to do this we will use item_at_index method with the MediaList object Syntax : media_list.item_at_index(n) Argument : It takes index as argument Return : It returns Media object
Below is the implementation
Python3
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer()
player = vlc.Instance()
media_list = vlc.MediaList()
media1 = player.media_new("death_note.mkv")
media_list.add_media(media1)
media2 = player.media_new(" 1.mp4 ")
media_list.add_media(media2)
media_player.set_media_list(media_list)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_list.item_at_index( 0 )
print (value)
|
Output :
vlc.Media object at 0x00000248E1B42981
Another example
Python3
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer()
player = vlc.Instance()
media_list = vlc.MediaList()
media1 = player.media_new(" 1.mp4 ")
media_list.add_media(media1)
media2 = player.media_new("death_note.mkv")
media_list.add_media(media2)
media_player.set_media_list(media_list)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_list.item_at_index( 1 )
print (value)
|
Output :
vlc.Media object at 0x00000248E1B42988
