In this article we will see how we can get list of output devices 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. Audio output devices can be built in speaker or earphones as well as external speaker.
In order to do this we will use
audio_output_device_enummethod with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.audio_output_device_enum()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns a None-terminated linked list of potential audio output devices. It must be freed with audio_output_device_list_release()
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 track value = media_player.audio_output_device_enum() # printing value print("Audio Output Devices: ") print(value) |
Output :
Audio Output Devices:
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 track value = media_player.audio_output_device_enum() # printing value print("Audio Output Devices: ") print(value) |
Output :
Audio Output Devices: vlc.LP_AudioOutputDevice object at 0x0000021A9E961A86
