Description:
 def media_new(self, mrl, *options):
 """Create a new Media instance. If mrl contains a colon (:) preceded by more than 1 letter, it will be treated as a URL. Else, it will be considered as a local path. If you need more control, directly use media_new_location/media_new_path methods. Options can be specified as supplementary string parameters, but note that many options cannot be set at the media level, and rather at the Instance level. For instance, the marquee filter must be specified when creating the vlc.Instance or vlc.MediaPlayer. Alternatively, options can be added to the media using the Media.add_options method (with the same limitation). @param options: optional media option=value strings """
