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. We can create a MediaPlayer object with the help of MediaPlayer

Return : It returns list
Below is the implementation
# importing vlc module import vlc # importing time module import time # creating vlc media player object media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer() # media resource locator mrl = "death_note.mkv" # setting mrl to the media player media_player.set_mrl(mrl) # 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 title description value = media_player.video_get_title_description() # printing title description print ( "Title description : " ) print (value) |
Output :
