A python package that utilizes telnetlib3 and asyncio to communicate with VLC Media Player
Project description
API is under constant development for adding/improvising further features and improvements
Current API Version: 1.0.1
Current API functions:
connect()
: Starts the connection to VLC on specified host and portsend(command)
: Sends command to VLCdisconnect()
: Disconnects from VLCshutdown()
: Ends the connection and shuts down VLCis_alive()
: Returns True if the connection is alive else False
USAGE:
The library works asynchronously hence you will need to explicitly import asyncio
(import asyncio
) for asynchronous functioning and call the object functions with async/await syntax.
Example:
from PyVLC.PyVLC import PyVLC
import asyncio
VLC = PyVLC()
async def runner():
await VLC.connect()
while True:
com = input("VLC> ")
if com == "quit" or com == "exit":
await VLC.disconnect()
break
await VLC.send(com)
if __name__ == "__main__":
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(runner())
