In this article we will see how we can check if video is seekable 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.
In order to do this we will use
is_seekable
method with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.is_seekable()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns 1 is true else 0
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc module import vlc
# importing time module import time
# creating vlc media player object media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
# media object media = vlc.Media( "death_note.mkv" )
# setting media to the media player media_player.set_media(media) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 )
# checking if it is seekable value = media_player.is_seekable()
# printing value print ( "Seekable : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Seekable : 1
Another example
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc module import vlc
# importing time module import time
# creating vlc media player object media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
# media object media = vlc.Media( "1mp4.mkv" )
# setting media to the media player media_player.set_media(media) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 )
# checking if it is seekable value = media_player.is_seekable()
# printing value print ( "Seekable : " )
print (value)

Output :
Seekable : 1
