Hi, I'm doing a software who have to know what is the complete path or the filename played on VLC, I mean I need to access this information in java or php:


How can I get it?, maybe for linux batch or what options you can giveme

Thanks a lot
Bye

You can use telnet interface. It could be reachable from java/php, but I'd strongly recommend to use some kind of access list to prevent the abuse if you plan to get this info over Internet.

thanks
What telnet command serves to get this information?

get_title
Also type "help" to get the entire list of commands.
