Python VLC MediaListPlayer – Getting Current State
In this article we will see how we can current state of the MediaListPlayer 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. Media list player is used to play multiple media in a row for example playing a series, instead of taking single media it accepts media list. Its working is almost similar like the MediaPlayer object but it is capable of playing list of media. State can be playing paused or closed, we can pause and resume the media list player any time with the help of set_pause method, and it can be start playing with the help of play method.
In order to do this we will use
get_statemethod with the MediaListPlayer objectSyntax : media_list_player.get_state()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns State object
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc # importing time moduleimport time # creating a media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer() # creating Instance class objectplayer = vlc.Instance() # creating a new media list objectmedia_list = player.media_list_new() # creating a new mediamedia = player.media_new("death_note.mkv") # adding media to media listmedia_list.add_media(media) # setting media list to the media playermedia_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing videomedia_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(5) # getting media player current statevalue = media_player.get_state() # printing valueprint(value) |
Output :
State.Playing
Another example
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc # importing time moduleimport time # creating a media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer() # creating Instance class objectplayer = vlc.Instance() # creating a new media listmedia_list = player.media_list_new() # creating a new mediamedia = player.media_new("1.mp4") # adding media to media listmedia_list.add_media(media) # setting media list to the media playermedia_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing videomedia_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(5) # getting media player current statevalue = media_player.get_state() # printing valueprint(value) |
Output :
State.Playing
