Python VLC MediaPlayer – Pausing it
In this article we will see how we can pause the media in 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. We can play the video with the help of play method.
In order to do this we will use

Syntax : media_player.event_manager()
Argument : It takes integer as argument, play/resume if zero, pause if non-zero.
Return : It returns None
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc # importing time moduleimport time # creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer() # media objectmedia = vlc.Media("D:\\pych\\bhuvan\\death_note.mkv") # setting media to the media playermedia_player.set_media(media) # start playing videomedia_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(5) # pausing the videomedia_player.set_pause(1) |
Output :
This video will play for 5 seconds then it will get paused
Another example
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc # importing time moduleimport time # creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer() # media objectmedia = vlc.Media("1mp4.mkv") # setting media to the media playermedia_player.set_media(media) # start playing videomedia_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 3 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(3) # pausing the videomedia_player.set_pause(1) |
Output :
Similarly this video will get played for 3 seconds then it got paused
