You need to keep your code running for the duration of the media, you are playing.
The easiest way is to monitor the media instance.

" No module named 'vlc' " - trouble importing VLC with Python

Asked 2021-Aug-30 at 12:58

I am trying to use the python-vlc library in python and keep getting errors when using "import vlc".

I have the 64-bit Windows version of VLC player installed, and am using Python version 3.9.6 in a virtual environment in Visual Studio. My version of Windows is also 64-bit.

I used "pip install python-vlc" to download the module from the terminal within the project's virtual environment and confirmed that it downloaded correctly.

Here's the code I'm using:

Answered 2021-Aug-28 at 18:30

You can install library locally by doing pip install -t . python-vlc --no-user and try to import it (you will download a vlc.py file to your project folder and you can try to import it)

Why is VLC's .py modue returning 'NoneType' in 'media_player_new'?

Asked 2021-Mar-07 at 02:08

I've been running around in circles for a few weeks, and can't get past an infuriating problem... firstly; I'm running 64-bit Win10, with 64-bit Powershell invoking python 3.9 (also 64-bit), which is an app with a Tk GUI, and uses python-vlc. It's been running fine for weeks on a laptop, and I'm now trying to get it work on a PC with the same setup (Win10, 64-bit VLC, 64-bit Python).

The error can be reproduced in a few simple lines right in the Python shell:

Whilst talking with the developer community over here, the issue fixed itself. https://github.com/oaubert/python-vlc/issues/170

Our closing comments included our best guess: A Windows internal cache somewhere. I deleted the DLLs from system32 in preparation for doing yet another reinstall. I tested the program, and it picked up the DLL from "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\libvlc.dll" rather than the /system32/ directory. I strongly suspect that within Windows somewhere, the .dll was cached by something like the preload process or some other obscure bit of Windows. There's no user-facing way to clear some of Windows internal caches. The cache became invalid at some point (3 weeks seems an arbitrary (and rather long) cache period, but Windows is infamously opaque). After that, it genuinely loaded a new version from a new install. Perhaps until then, all my attempts were failing due to a preload cache. That's only a guess.

Correct answer: Just keep trying, even after uninstalling previous versions, manually remove the libvlc.dll and libvclcore.dll , keep restarting, keep checking version numbers. Eventually. it'll start working.

QUESTION

Is there a way to make the python-vlc window acknowledge cropping?

Asked 2020-Oct-19 at 07:04

I want to play a video using python-vlc. I have gotten everything to work, and the video plays without any technical issues. There is this one aesthetic issue, though. I only want to play part of the video. As in, I want to crop out a fair bit on the bottom and a good bit on the right. I know I can do this with a call to MediaPlayer.video_set_crop_geometry(), and I've done so semi-successfully. However, the actual window that opens is the one that is adjusted for the entire video, with the part that I want centered in the middle with black bars around it. (If I call MediaPlayer.video_set_scale(), then the cropped-out bit the same size as it would be if I didn't crop. If I don't call video_set_scale(), the cropped-out bit is stretched, maintaining aspect ratio, until it reaches the edge of the window. Regardless, there are black bars).

Can I get the window to adjust to this new, smaller video? Preferably automatically, but if I have to pass in the size I want, that's fine too.

I have tried shuffling around the order between the different calls to no avail. Clearly python-vlc has the capacity somewhere to adjust the window it's playing in, as it can open a window the correct size for the regular video to play, and it adjusts automaticallty after calling video_set_scale(), but only to fit the original video, not the cropped one.

You should probably share more details, such as your full code and platform used.

That being said, libvlc doesn't offer an API to resize the native Window it draws on, but you can easily do it yourself (with win32 APIs for HWND, on Windows, for example).

The problem is that as soon as you start playing the video it is not available since the download is not immediate but with your code you try to update the position. The solution is to update is to get the position after it started playing:
