Last Updated :
18 Aug, 2020
In this article we will see how we can set scale to 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. Setting scale means scale factor i.e it change the size of the media player according to the scale factor. It can be set with the help of video_set_scale
method.
In order to do this we will use video_get_scale
method with the MediaPlayer object
Syntax : media_player.video_get_scale(n)
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns float
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.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.video_get_scale()
print ( "Scale Factor :" )
print (value)
|
Output :
Scale Factor :
0.6
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.video_set_scale( 0.6 )
media_player.play()
time.sleep( 5 )
value = media_player.video_get_scale()
print ( "Scale Factor :" )
print (value)
|
Output :
Scale Factor :
0.6000000238418579
