In this article we will see how we can set the current audio track 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. MediaPlayer object is the basic object in vlc module for playing the video. For a single video can be available in many audio tracks for example a movie can has english audio track as well as hindi audio track. Current audio track is the audio track that currently playing in the media.
In order to do this we will use audio_set_track method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.audio_set_track(n)
Argument : It takes track id as argument
Return : It returns 0 on success, -1 on error.
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc# importing time moduleimport time# creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()# media objectmedia = vlc.Media("death_note.mkv")# setting media to the media playermedia_player.set_media(media)# setting video scalemedia_player.video_set_scale(0.6)# setting audio trackmedia_player.audio_set_track(1)# setting volumemedia_player.audio_set_volume(80)# start playing videomedia_player.play()# wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(5) |
Output :
