I have installed python-vlc

D:\Programing\Python\Python 3.6>python -m pip install python-vlc Requirement already satisfied: python-vlc in d:\programing\python\python 3.6\lib\site-packages\python_vlc-1.1.2-py3.6.egg

When I import the module in idle I get this error 

>>> import vlc
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>

self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)

If you have 64bit python, you need 64bit vlc player. If you have 32bit python, you need 32bit vlc version.

Try the command "pip install vlc" in the CMD. If that doesn't work, then try "pip install python-vlc"

  • I get this error: ` Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement vlc (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for vlc` – Eztain Feb 08 '17 at 05:37
  • If you have 64bit python, you need 64bit vlc player. If you have 32bit python, you need 32bit vlc player. – Shadow430 Feb 08 '17 at 05:55
  • That fixed it thanks, I was running the 32 bit version of vlc on my 64 bit machine. I uninstalled it and installed the 64 bit version. – Eztain Feb 08 '17 at 06:06
  • Glad to help :) – Shadow430 Feb 08 '17 at 06:07
