In this article we will see how we can get role 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. Role can be available role or can be customized one. It can be set with the help of set_role method.
In order to do this we will use
get_rolemethod with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.get_role()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns media player role
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 media player role value = media_player.get_role() # printing value print("Media Player Role : ") print(value) |
Output :
Media Player Role : 2
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 media player role value = media_player.get_role() # printing value print("Media Player Role : ") print(value) |
