Add custom columns to the playlist interface and feed it.

Hello everyone.

I just recently recognized, that vlc ships with a lua api. Since i used this a lot with the awesome window manager. I am wondering, whether the thing in my mind is possible with it or not.

I want to add a column to the playlist view in addition to the existend columns artist, title, length etc. Then i want to parse data from the filename in there
for each track, so the sorting and all this stuff is possible.

So my question is:
Is this possible to do with the lua script extension and if yes can you point out a short road map ( I can code myself )
If not, maybe you have an idea how to do it in another way

thx for this massive piece of software
peace
Sascha

Start in the pinned topic: Getting started? Check the README document what VLC stuff is available for Lua scripting. It is possible to read/add/delete playlist entries. Don't you like meta data fetishistic behaviour (meta title instead of filename) of VLC, too?
