Last Updated :
19 Aug, 2020
In this article we will see how we can get list of output devices of 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. Audio output devices can be built in speaker or earphones as well as external speaker.
In order to do this we will use audio_output_device_enum
method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.audio_output_device_enum()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns a None-terminated linked list of potential audio output devices. It must be freed with audio_output_device_list_release()
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.video_set_scale( 0.6 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.audio_output_device_enum()
print ( "Audio Output Devices: " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Audio Output Devices:
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.video_set_scale( 0.6 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.audio_output_device_enum()
print ( "Audio Output Devices: " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Audio Output Devices:
vlc.LP_AudioOutputDevice object at 0x0000021A9E961A86
