You’ll never need to create an instance of this class yourself. You’ll find it ready to use as the player attribute on the Session instance.

state = 'unloaded'

The player state.

• The state is initially PlayerState.UNLOADED.
• When a track is loaded, the state changes to PlayerState.LOADED.
• When playback is started the state changes to PlayerState.PLAYING.
• When playback is paused the state changes to PlayerState.PAUSED.
• When the track is unloaded the state changes to PlayerState.UNLOADED again.

load(track)

Load Track for playback.

seek(offset)

play(play=True)

This will cause audio data to be passed to the music_delivery callback.

If play is set to False, playback will be paused.

pause()

Pause the currently loaded track.

This is the same as calling play() with False.

unload()
