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. Length is basically how long the current media is.

media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
media = vlc.Media("death_note.mkv")
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.get_length()
print ("Length of the media : ")
print (value)

Output :
Length of the media :
