The VideoLAN Forums

I'm programming a music player with python, tkinter and vlc. My idea is to streem a youtube video with it's URL, which I was doing with pafy. I have downloaded youtube-dcl, since the takedown of youtube-dl, but pafy doesn't work to get the best URL. So, I'm trying to do it directly with the vlc module. I have tried the following:
I have asked in StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/646 ... ube-videos
The only answer says that I need to parse the media and play it's first subitem, but the code doesn't work. Instead of parse() I have used parse_with_options() and instead of first() I have tried item_at_index(0), but doesn't work anyway.... I have looked for examples or information, but I can't find much. Can you help me, please? Thanks!

Hi,

Can you share the code you tried with the parse and play sub item advice?
Can you enable full verbose logs and share them here?

This is the code with similar methods :
I don't know how exactly enable verbose logs. Libvlc docs says what I have used: passing "--verbose=2" as argument when creating the object.
The output of this code is -1. If I use player.is_playing(), the result is 0, so NOT playing. And when I print type(first) says NoneType.

You enabled verbose logs with --verbose=2, now you need to find them so you can share them here. Try listening to stdout or stderr.
