VLC media player is a free and open-source portable cross-platform media player software and streaming media server developed by the VideoLAN project.

# importing vlc module import vlc # importing time module import time # creating a media player object media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer() # creating Instance class object player = vlc.Instance() # creating a media list object media_list = vlc.MediaList() # creating a new media media = player.media_new( "death_note.mkv" ) # setting media object to the media list media_list.set_media(media) # setting media list to the media player media_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing video media_player.play() # wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds # irrespective for length of video time.sleep( 5 ) |
