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`

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

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.
