Hi all,

I am trying to launch a video using libvlc and python interface.
Every time I execute the code, Video is getting launched in Direct3D window from where I cannot pause or stop manually.
How to make it launch in the main window?

Below is the code I used to launch VLC

Code: Select all

import vlc
filepath = "test.mp4"
movie = os.path.expanduser(filepath)
instance = vlc.Instance()
media = instance.media_new(movie)
player = instance.media_player_new()
player.set_media(media)
player.set_fullscreen(1)
player.play()

In C or C++, you have to call libvlc_media_player_set_hwnd with your window handle (HNWD) to tell libvlc where to render the media.
And to pause or stop the playback, call libvlc_media_player_play, libvlc_media_player_pause or libvlc_media_player_stop.
