In this article we will see how we can get track count 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. A video can have multiple tracks which user can select.
In order to do this we will use
video_get_track_countmethod with the MediaPlayer objectSyntax : media_player.video_get_track_count()
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) # 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 count value = media_player.video_get_track_count() # printing value print("Track Count : ") print(value) |
Output :
Track Count : 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 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 count value = media_player.video_get_track_count() # printing value print("Track Count : ") print(value) |
Output :
Track Count : 2
