In this article we will see how we can set media 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. We can create a MediaPlayer object with the help of MediaPlayer method. Media can be video or even audio that is supported by vlc.
In order to do this we will use set_media method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.set_media(media)
Argument : It takes Media object as argument
Return : It returns None
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc module import vlc
# importing time module import time
# creating vlc media player object media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
# media object media = vlc.Media("death_note.mkv")
# setting media to the media player media_player.set_media(media) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 )
|
Output :
# importing vlc module import vlc
# importing time module import time
# creating vlc media player object media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
# media object media = vlc.Media(" 1mp4 .mkv")
# setting media to the media player media_player.set_media(media) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 )
