In this article we will see how we can get the size 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. We can create a MediaPlayer object with the help of MediaPlayer
method. Size is basically dimension of it in pixel.
In order to do this we will use
video_get_size
method with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.video_get_size()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns tuple
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc module import vlc
# importing time module import time
# creating vlc media player object media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
# media resource locator mrl = "death_note.mkv"
# setting mrl to the media player media_player.set_mrl(mrl) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 )
# getting size value = media_player.video_get_size()
# printing size print ( "Size : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Size : (1280, 720)
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 resource locator mrl = "1.mp4"
# setting mrl to the media player media_player.set_mrl(mrl) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 )
# getting size value = media_player.video_get_size()
# printing size print ( "Size : " )
print (value)

Output :
Size : (854, 480)
