Playlist Items ...

[rmhartman]

Ok, I have a few questions about playlist items. First, I am trying to get the filename/url of the currently playing item, and I see no way to do this. Second, the playlist.playItem() method uses some sort of id value you get from playlist.add(), and this is explictly mentioned as not being a position in the playlist. Finally, how do I even identify /which/ playlist item is the one currently being played?

I presume that the items on the playlist items collection may be the key to answering some of these questions, but the documentation at http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... ems_object, while it talks about the collection, does not talk about the individual item objects themselves.

I've never figured that out either, but you can keep track of it independently from the vlc object, and that works fine.
