playmedia 0.0.1

A python package to play and control media files

playmedia

playmedia python package helps you easily play and control media files. It uses multithreading technology ( playback run in a different thread ). It means after calling play_single( filepath ) or play_multiple( directoryPath, shuffle ) execution of program does not stop.

Example :-

play_single("C:\\\Users\\\Satvik\\\Music\\\Why do I.mp3")
print("This is printed as soon as play_single() is called. It does not wait for song to finish")

#Output :
This is printed as soon as play_single() is called. It does not wait for song to finish

It supports almost all popular formats :-

• .m4a
• .flac
• .mp3
• .mp4
• .wav
• .wma
• .aac
• .mkv

It has 2 major functions :-

1. play_single()
2. play_multiple()

---

1. play_single( filepath )

play_single( filepath )

• filepath ->full path of loaction of media eg.("C:\\Users\\Satvik\\Music\\Why do I.mp3"). Double backslash( \\ ) should be used as using others might throw unicode error.

It has 3 method inside it.

• pause_single() - Pauses the song. (calling pause_single() again resumes it)

• set_volume_single(vol) - Sets the volume of player to vol%. Eg. set_volume_single(60) sets volume to 60%

• stop_single() - Stops playing . Only it should be called to stop playing. Using other techniques might stop playing but not stop the thread

Example Usage :-

play_single("C:\\Users\\Satvik\\Music\\Why do I.mp3")
#playing started
pause_single()
#pauses
pause_single()
#calling  pause_single() again resumes the song
set_volume_single(60)
#sets volume to 60%
stop_single()
#stops playing the song

2. play_multiple( directoryPath, shuffle )

play_multiple( directoryPath, shuffle )

• directoryPath ->full path of directory containing multiple media eg.("C:\\Users\\Satvik\\Music\"). Double backslash( \\ ) should be used as using others might throw unicode error. Also double backslash( \\ ) at the end is neccesary.
• shuffle ->True if you want the songs to be played in random order else False

It has 5 method inside it.

• pause_multiple() - Pauses the song. (calling pause_multiple() again resumes it)

• set_volume_multiple(vol) - Sets the volume of player to vol%. Eg. set_volume_multiple(60) sets volume to 60%

• next_multiple() - Plays next song in the list

• previous_multiple - Plays previous song in the list

• stop_multiple() - Stops playing . Only it should be called to stop playing. Using other techniques might stop playing but not stop the thread

Example Usage:-

play_multiple("C:\\Users\\Satvik\\Music\\", False)
#started playing
pause_multiple()
#pauses the current song
pause_multiple()
#calling  pause_multiple() again resumes the current song
next_multiple()
#plays next song in the list
previous_multiple()
#plays previous song in the list
set_volume_multiple(60)
#sets volume to 60%
stop_multiple()
#stops playing the songs
