SMPlayer Support Forum

Hi

I'm trying to get the name of the currently playing file from SMPlayer. The difficulty is that I can only use a script as the SMPlayer instance is on a remote machine.

I've tried polling the ini file, the playlist and currently playing file doesn't seem to update until the playlist has completed.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

There's an option that saves the mplayer log to a file, you can parse the filename from it.

Preferences -> Advanced -> Logs -> Autosave mplayer/mpv log to file.
