Python VLC MediaPlayer – Getting Subtitle Delay
Last Updated :
18 Aug, 2020
In this article we will see how we can get subtitle delay 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. Subtitles are text derived from either a transcript or screenplay of the dialogue or commentary in films, television programs, video games, and the like, usually displayed at the bottom of the screen, but can also be at the top of the screen if there is already text at the bottom of the screen. Subtitle delay affects the timing of when the subtitle will be displayed. Positive values result in subtitles being displayed later, while negative values will result in subtitles being displayed earlier. The subtitle delay will be reset to zero each time the media changes. It can be set with the help of video_set_spu_delay
method.
In order to do this we will use video_get_spu_delay
method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.video_get_spu_delay()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns integer
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_spu_delay( 100 )
media_player.video_set_scale( 0.6 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.video_get_spu_delay()
print ( "Subtitle delay : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Subtitle delay :
100
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.video_set_spu_delay( 100 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.video_get_spu_delay()
print ( "Subtitle delay : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Subtitle delay :
100
