In this article we will see how we can create a 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. MediaPlayer object is the basic object in vlc module for playing the video. MediaPlayer class is the basic class it is used to play single video at a time.
In order to do this we will use MediaPlayer method Syntax : MediaPlayer(video_uri) Argument : It takes video uri as optional argument Return : It returns MediaPlayer object
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing vlc moduleimport vlcimport timeimport time# creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()# printing type of media player variableprint(type(media_player)) |
Output :
class 'vlc.MediaPlayer'
Another example
Python3
# importing vlc moduleimport vlcimport time# creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer("1.mp4")# start playing videomedia_player.play()# wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(5) |
Output :
