11 Apr, 2022
In this article we will see how we can get total number of audio tracks available for 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. MediaPlayer object is the basic object in vlc module for playing the video. For a single video can be available in many audio tracks for example a movie can has english audio track as well as hindi audio track.
In order to do this we will use audio_get_track_count method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.audio_get_track_count()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns the number of available audio tracks (int), or -1 if unavailable.
Below is the implementation
Python3
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.audio_set_volume( 80 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.audio_get_track_count()
print ("Audio Tracks : ")
print (value)
|
Output :
Audio Tracks :
3
Another example Below is the implementation
Python3
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
media = vlc.Media(" 1mp4 .mkv")
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.audio_set_volume( 70 )
media_player.video_set_scale( 0.6 )
