Python VLC MediaPlayer – Getting Volume
In this article we will see how we can get volume 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. VLC offer us to change the volume of the media, it can be set in the form of percentage i.e 0 means mute and 100 means maximum sound. It can be set with the help of audio_set_volume method.
In order to do this we will use audio_get_volume method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.audio_get_volume()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns integer
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc# importing time moduleimport time# creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()# media objectmedia = vlc.Media("death_note.mkv")# setting media to the media playermedia_player.set_media(media)# setting video scalemedia_player.video_set_scale(0.6)# setting volumemedia_player.audio_set_volume(50)# start playing videomedia_player.play()# wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(5)# getting volumevalue = media_player.audio_get_volume()# printing valueprint("Audio Volume : ")print(value) |
Output : 
Audio Volume : 50
Another example Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing vlc moduleimport vlc# importing time moduleimport time# creating vlc media player objectmedia_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()# media objectmedia = vlc.Media("1mp4.mkv")# setting media to the media playermedia_player.set_media(media)# setting volumemedia_player.audio_set_volume(70)# setting video scalemedia_player.video_set_scale(0.6)# start playing videomedia_player.play()# wait so the video can be played for 5 seconds# irrespective for length of videotime.sleep(5)# getting volumevalue = media_player.audio_get_volume()# printing valueprint("Audio Volume : ")print(value) |
Output :
