Is there a way to get the file opened in VLC with AppleScript?

I want to get the full name of file that opened in VLC now.

I have only found out this:

tell application "VLC"
    set current_file to name of first window
end tell

But it returns in current_file current window's title which is only file name without extension. whereas I need a full path.

Can I get this done?

Thank you.

Solution

  • did you have a look inside VLC's dictionary in Skript-Editor? You find something like

    tell application "VLC"
    log (get name of current item)
    log (get path of current item)
end tell

    inside the VLC Suite.
