public class VLCPlayer {

private final EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent mediaPlayerComponent;

//This is the path for libvlc.dll
public static void main(String[] args) {
 NativeLibrary.addSearchPath(RuntimeUtil.getLibVlcLibraryName(), "C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC");
Native.loadLibrary(RuntimeUtil.getLibVlcLibraryName(), LibVlc.class);
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
    VLCPlayer vlcPlayer = new VLCPlayer();
});

}
private VLCPlayer() {

//MAXIMIZE TO SCREEN
java.awt.Dimension screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

JFrame frame = new JFrame();

mediaPlayerComponent = new EmbeddedMediaPlayerComponent();

frame.setContentPane(mediaPlayerComponent);

frame.setLocation(0, 0);
frame.setSize(300,400);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);

mediaPlayerComponent.getMediaPlayer().playMedia("D:\\centaur_1_xvid.avi");//Movie name which want to play
}
}

its running fine now as i'm using 3.0.1 version of vlcj and jna 3.5.2 i want to add speed(playbackrate) functionality in video player how can i do that and i want to know the timing when video paused and when played.

        pausebutton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                mediaPlayer.pause();
                // or mediaPlayer.pause() depending on what works.
                final long time = mediaPlayer.getTime();
                System.out.println(time);
            }
        });
        playbutton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                mediaPlayer.play();
            }
        });
    }
}

This is how i solved the problem Thanks.

Answer 2

Very simple. To get the time or time left, You can use $T for time and $L for time left.
And in case of setting speed, You can simply use the api function namely

/**
 * Set the video play rate.
 * <p>
 * Some media protocols are not able to change the rate.
 *
 * @param rate rate, where 1.0 is normal speed, 0.5 is half speed, 2.0 is double speed and so on
 * @return -1 on error, 0 on success
 */
int setRate(float rate);

If You want to know more, check the documentation here

UPDATE
To get the time , use this

    /**
 * Get the current play-back time.
 *
 * @return current time, expressed as a number of milliseconds
 */
 long getTime();

check docs link above.
