In this article we will see how we can play the video 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.
In order to do this we will use
playmethod with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.play()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns 0 if playback started (and was already started), or -1 on error
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc # importing time moduleimport time # creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer() # media objectmedia = vlc.Media("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) |
Output :
Another example
