Python VLC MediaListPlayer – Setting Media List to it
In this article we will see how we can set media list to the MediaListPlayer 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. Media list player is used to play multiple media in a row for example playing a series, instead of taking single media it accepts media list. Its working is almost similar like the MediaPlayer object but it is capable of playing list of media. MediaList object is the object having multiple media inside it, it allows MediaListPlayer to play more than one media.
In order to do this we will use
set_media_list
method with the MediaListPlayer objectSyntax : media_list_player.set_media_list(media_list)
Argument : It takes MediaList object as argument
Return : It returns None
Below is the implementation
# 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 new media list object media_list = player.media_list_new() # creating a new media media = player.media_new( "death_note.mkv" ) # adding media to media list media_list.add_media(media) # setting media list to the media player media_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing video media_player.play() |
