Answer 1

Install python-vlc

pip install python-vlc

Just change the path,your good to go..

from vlc import Instance
import time
import os

class VLC:
    def __init__(self):
        self.Player = Instance('--loop')

    def addPlaylist(self):
        self.mediaList = self.Player.media_list_new()
        path = r"C:\Users\dell5567\Desktop\engsong"
        songs = os.listdir(path)
        for s in songs:
            self.mediaList.add_media(self.Player.media_new(os.path.join(path,s)))
        self.listPlayer = self.Player.media_list_player_new()
        self.listPlayer.set_media_list(self.mediaList)
    def play(self):
        self.listPlayer.play()
    def next(self):
        self.listPlayer.next()
    def pause(self):
        self.listPlayer.pause()
    def previous(self):
        self.listPlayer.previous()
    def stop(self):
        self.listPlayer.stop()

Create a object

player = VLC()

Add playlist

player.addPlaylist()

Play the song

player.play()
time.sleep(9)

Play the next song

player.next()
time.sleep(9)

Pause the song

player.pause()
time.sleep(9)

Resume the song

player.play()
time.sleep(9)

Previous song

player.previous()
time.sleep(9)

Stop the song

player.stop()
