Python VLC MediaListPlayer – Playing Item at given index
In this article we will see how we can play the item at the given index in 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 play a media with the help of play
method but it start playing media from index 0.
In order to do this we will use play_item_at_index
method with the MediaListPlayer object
Syntax : media_list_player.play_item_at_index(n)
Argument : It takes integer as argument
Return : It returns 0 upon success -1 if the item wasn’t found.
Below is the implementation
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.media_new( "1.mp4" )
media_list.add_media(media)
media_player.set_media_list(media_list)
media_player.play_item_at_index( 1 )
time.sleep( 5 )
