Last Updated : 11 Apr, 2022

In this article we will see how we can get media 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. We can create a MediaPlayer object with the help of MediaPlayer method. Media can be video or even audio that is supported by vlc, it can be set with the help of set_media method.

In order to do this we will use get_media method with the MediaPlayer object

Syntax : media_player.get_media()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns Media object

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)

# getting media
value = media_player.get_media()

# printing media
print("Media : ")
print(value)

Output :

Media : 
vlc.Media object at 0x00000254E3CE3408

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
