I know how, using the HTTP Interface, to retrieve the elapsed time (from http://127.0.0.1:9090/requests/status.xml and node <time>1113</time>). But when playing a local DVD folder rip (VIDEO_TS folder), there are usually multiple "titles" contained within the DVD structure (note that "title" here does not refer to "title as-in movie name", but "title as-in DVD structural component" a la VLC MRL syntax). I'm trying to see if there is any way to retrieve the DVD "Title" of what is currently being played. I'd prefer to use the HTTP Interface as I'm more familiar with that, but am totally willing to explore the RC Interface if that has the ability to do this (note that I would like to just use one interface, ideally, to get the current position/time, the total length of the playing item, and the DVD Title [and possibly chapter], as applicable). I can't find much documentation for the RC Interface, so hence my posting here.
I'm wanting to use VLC in conjunction with some media center type of software, where VLC will function as an external player for media like VIDEO_TS DVD folder rips (where DVD menu support is desired/needed), and so being able to retrieve the above details will enable me to build a connection with the media software such that the software can know/record: elapsed time, and which DVD "title" to go to on Resuming.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!
