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. Setting media position as percentage between 0.0 and 1.0. This has no effect if playback is not enabled. This might not work depending on the underlying input format and protocol.

import time
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
media = vlc.Media("death_note.mkv")
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
media_player.set_position( 0.5 )
