Python VLC MediaList – Getting Media at given Index
In this article we will see how we can get the media at the given index in the MediaList 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. MediaList object contains the multiple media, in other words it has list of media which can be used with MediaListPlayer object to play these multiple media object. Multiple media can be added to the media list object with the help of add_media method, so each media is lying at their respective index in the list.
In order to do this we will use item_at_index method with the MediaList object Syntax : media_list.item_at_index(n) Argument : It takes index as argument Return : It returns Media object
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing vlc module import vlc # importing time module import time # creating a media player object media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer() # creating Instance class object player = vlc.Instance() # creating a media list object media_list = vlc.MediaList() # creating a new media media1 = player.media_new("death_note.mkv") # adding media to media list media_list.add_media(media1) # creating a new media media2 = player.media_new(" 1.mp4 ") # adding another media media_list.add_media(media2) # setting media list to the media player media_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 ) # getting media at the index 0 in media list value = media_list.item_at_index( 0 ) # printing value print (value) |
Output :
vlc.Media object at 0x00000248E1B42981
Another example
Python3
# importing vlc module import vlc # importing time module import time # creating a media player object media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer() # creating Instance class object player = vlc.Instance() # creating a media list object media_list = vlc.MediaList() # creating a new media media1 = player.media_new(" 1.mp4 ") # adding media to media list media_list.add_media(media1) # creating a new media media2 = player.media_new("death_note.mkv") # adding media to media list media_list.add_media(media2) # setting media list to the media player media_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 ) # getting media at the index 1 in media list value = media_list.item_at_index( 1 ) # printing value print (value) |
Output :
vlc.Media object at 0x00000248E1B42988
