Last Updated :
19 Aug, 2020
In this article we will see how we can get the current audio channel 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. MediPlyer object is the basic object in vlc module for playing the video. An audio channel or audio track is an audio signal communications channel in a storage device or mixing console, used in operations such as multi-track recording and sound reinforcement. It can be set with the help of audio_set_channel
method.
In order to do this we will use audio_get_channel
method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.audio_get_channel(n)
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns channel id
Below is the implementation
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
media = vlc.Media( "death_note.mkv" )
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.video_set_scale( 0.6 )
media_player.audio_set_channel( 1 )
media_player.audio_set_volume( 80 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.audio_get_channel()
print ( "Current Audio Channel : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Current Audio Channel :
1
Another example
Below is the implementation
import vlc
import time
media_player = vlc.MediaPlayer()
media = vlc.Media( "1mp4.mkv" )
media_player.set_media(media)
media_player.audio_set_volume( 70 )
media_player.video_set_scale( 0.6 )
media_player.audio_set_channel( 1 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.audio_get_channel()
print ( "Current Audio Channel : " )
print (value)
|
Output :
Current Audio Channel :
0
