# creating vlc media player object
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()

# media object
media = vlc.Media("D:\\pych\\bhuvan\\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)

# pausing the video
media_player.set_pause(1)

Output : This video will play for 5 seconds then it will get paused Another example Below is the implementation
