Can not import vlc to python program

Question

I\'m trying to reproduce a video with sound in python Tkinter through VLC, but cannot run the file since I get an error when running the line import vlc.

I have python 3

Answer 1

Python-vlc is a binding of python to vlc program (or wrapper libraries). It is a way to run vlc program via python (python -> binding -> vlc). It will not run the vlc program itself so you need to do the following steps:

1)  download vlc program and install it in your machine
2)  restart your machine
3)  run notebook again

You may download and install vlc (64-bit) in this link: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Note that this only installs the python module itself, which depends on the availability of the libvlc libraries. You must also install VLC itself to get these libraries.
