How to make videos output in one window when trying to play multiple videos with python-vlc?

[mikehoncho]

Python3.7 python-vlc1.0.12118 Windows10

I have some videos that I need to show during live streaming, and the live streaming software grabs a video stream from a windows window.

I played these videos in python using python-vlc, but playing every video, python-vlc will open a new window "VLC (Direct3D11 output)", how can I play the video continuously with only one window?

This is the code:

Code: Select all

import os import time os.environ['PYTHON_VLC_MODULE_PATH'] = r"D:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC" import vlc # creating a media player object media_player = vlc.MediaListPlayer() # creating Instance class object player = vlc.Instance() # creating a new media list media_list = player.media_list_new() # creating a new media media = player.media_new(r'E:\Video\sample1.mp4') # adding media to media list media_list.add_media(media) # setting media list to the media player media_player.set_media_list(media_list) # creating a new media media = player.media_new(r'E:\Video\sample2.mp4') # adding media to media list media_list.add_media(media) # setting media list to the media player media_player.set_media_list(media_list) # start playing video media_player.play_item_at_index(0) time.sleep(5) # playing next media in list while True: media_player.next() time.sleep(5)

because you haven't set a window for the player. you can use the tkinter module to create a window and then assign it to the player.
