In this article we will see how we can check if video is pausable in the MediaPlayer 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. MediPlyer object is the basic object in vlc module for playing the video. We can create a MediaPlayer object with the help of MediaPlayer
method. Video can be paused with the help of set_pause
method.
In order to do this we will use can_pause
method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.can_pause()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns 1 is true else 0
Below is the implementation
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
media = vlc.Media( "death_note.mkv" )
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.can_pause()
print ( "Can Pause : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Can Pause :
1
Another example
Below is the implementation
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
media = vlc.Media( "1mp4.mkv" )
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.can_pause()
print ( "Can Pause : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Can Pause :
1
