Python VLC MediaPlayer – Getting Scale
In this article we will see how we can set scale to 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. Setting scale means scale factor i.e it change the size of the media player according to the scale factor. It can be set with the help of video_set_scale
method.
In order to do this we will use
video_get_scale
method with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.video_get_scale(n)
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns float
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) # setting video scale media_player.video_set_scale( 0.6 ) # 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 scale factor value = media_player.video_get_scale() # print value print ( "Scale Factor :" ) print (value) |
Output :
Scale Factor : 0.6
Another example
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( "1mp4.mkv" ) # setting media to the media player media_player.set_media(media) # setting video scale media_player.video_set_scale( 0.6 ) # 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 scale factor value = media_player.video_get_scale() # print value print ( "Scale Factor :" ) print (value) |
Output :
Scale Factor : 0.6000000238418579
