In this article we will see how we can pause/resume 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. We can pause and resume the media list player any time, when it get paused the frame and the audio get stopped and when it get resumed it start from the paused point.
In order to do this we will use
set_pausemethod with the MediaListPlayer objectSyntax : media_list_player.set_pause(1)
Argument : It takes 0 to play/resume and non-zero to pause
Return : It returns None
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc module import vlc
# importing time module import time
# creating a media player object media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer()
# creating Instance class object player = vlc.Instance()
# creating a new media list object media_list = player.media_list_new()
# creating a new media media = player.media_new("death_note.mkv")
# adding media to media list media_list.add_media(media) # setting media list to the media player media_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep(5)
# pausing media media_player.set_pause(1)
# wait for 4 second # so that it remained paused for 4 seconds time.sleep(4)
