MediaPlayer method. In some videos there are different video tracks are available so that user can switch in between them.
In order to do this we will use video_get_track_description method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.video_get_track_description()
Argument : It takes no argument
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 video Tracks description
value = media_player.video_get_track_description()
# printing subtitle description
print("Video Track Description")
print(value)
Video Track Description [(-1, b'Disable'), (0, b'Track 1')]]Another example 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 = "1.mp4"
# 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 video Tracks description
value = media_player.video_get_track_description()
