Last Updated :
11 Apr, 2023
In this article we will see how we can get 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_state method with the MediaListPlayer object
Syntax : media_list_player.get_state()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns State object
Below is the implementation
Python3
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer()
player = vlc.Instance()
media_list = player.media_list_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 )
value = media_player.get_state()
print (value)
|
Output :
State.Playing
Another example Below is the implementation
Python3
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer()
player = vlc.Instance()
media_list = player.media_list_new()
media = player.media_new(" 1.mp4 ")
media_list.add_media(media)
media_player.set_media_list(media_list)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.get_state()
print (value)
|
Output :
