Better Filename Info for videofiles..(/playlist.XML,...)

Postby ryansx » 21 Jul 2007 15:03

my playlist xml
<leaf id="22" current="current" uri="G:\VIDEOS\CINEMA\MyVideoFile.mpg" Name="G:\VIDEOS\CINEMA\MyVideoFile.mpg" ro="rw" duration="1590995148"/>
Is there a chance to get the Name or some info-tags on videofiles intead of only urls? I noticed that vlc displays no information on videofiles...
I need this cuz i want to make a php script that displays may playlist.xml/ displays whats my vls currently playing /doing/whats next... =)

Thx in advance

AFAIK .mpg files don't have meta info which would be why we're not using it as the video's title. Of course, I might be wrong... please provide a video sample if you know it to be otherwise.

okay btw PLEASE is there a change to correct the filename display? Why it shows there a url?
<leaf id="22" current="current" uri="G:\VIDEOS\CINEMA\MyVideoFile.mpg" Name="G:\VIDEOS\CINEMA\MyVideoFile.mpg" Cant this be changed to Filename only? I mean the url is displayed allready in the uri field...
thank you

You are correct, programme information in broadcasts (transport streams) is in a section called PSI (Program Service Information).

If you save the playlist as an m3u, I wrote a php script that just makes it show the filename (without the extension or directory).
