Python VLC MediaList – Getting Media object from it
In this article we will see how we can get media object from 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. We can add multiple video to the media list with the help of add_media
method and single media object can be set with the help of set_media
method.
In order to do this we will use
media
method with the MediaList objectSyntax : media_list.media()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns Media object
Below is the implementation
# 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 media = player.media_new( "death_note.mkv" ) # setting media object to the media list media_list.set_media(media) # 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 object from the media list value = media_list.media() # printing value print (value) |
Output :
vlc.Media object at 0x000001FB38155A01
Another example
# 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 media = player.media_new( "1.mp4" ) # setting media object to the media list media_list.set_media(media) # 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 object from the media list value = media_list.media() # printing value print (value) |
