Filename to txt

[unstoppz]

Hello ,

I dont know is there any plugin like this out, but i couldn't find it, so basicly i want to get filename what is currently played to output to .txt file.
I tryed editing some new playing script plugin but that one was just outputing metadata of songs, but i want real name of file not metadata.
Sorry for bad english.

Here is plugin i saw. https://addons.videolan.org/p/1172613/

Hi,

In tools > "media informations", you have the full path of the file in the location field.

[chubinou]

if you want to do it with a Lua script you can use the field ".path" of playlist items.

Is there any way to make Filename to txt work with VLC Player 2.2.8? Thanks

There are ways to make it work.
The extension from the first post seems to be open for feature requests (but idk, maybe it is dead), worth trying.
