Python VLC MediaPlayer - Checking if it is seekable

Python VLC MediaPlayer - Checking if it can be paused

Last Updated : 18 Aug, 2020

In this article we will see how we can check if video is pausable in 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. We can create a MediaPlayer object with the help of MediaPlayer method. Video can be paused with the help of set_pause method.

In order to do this we will use can_pause method with the MediaPlayer object Syntax : media_player.can_pause() Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns 1 is true else 0

Below is the implementation

Python3

# 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)

# start playing video
media_player.play()

# wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds
# irrespective for length of video
time.sleep(5)

# checking if it can pause
value = media_player.can_pause()

# printing value
print("Can Pause : ")
print(value)

Output :

Can Pause : 
1

Another example Below is the implementation

Python3

# 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)


# start playing video
media_player.play()

# wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds
# irrespective for length of video
time.sleep(5)

# checking if it can pause
value = media_player.can_pause()

# printing value
print("Can Pause : ")
print(value)

Output :

Can Pause : 
1
