In this article we will see how we can get audio delay 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. An audio channel or audio track is an audio signal communications channel in a storage device or mixing console, used in operations such as multi-track recording and sound reinforcement. Audio delay means that audio will get played after the delay time than normal time. It can be set with the help of audio_set_delay method.
In order to do this we will use
audio_get_delaymethod with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.audio_get_delay()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns integer
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) # setting volume media_player.audio_set_volume(80) # 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 audio delay value = media_player.audio_get_delay() # printing value print("Audio delay : ") print(value) |
Output :
Audio delay : 0
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 volume media_player.audio_set_volume(70) # 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 audio delay value = media_player.audio_get_delay() # printing value print("Audio delay : ") print(value) |
Output :
Audio delay : 0
