[Solved] Get Windows Media Player Current Playing Song Filename

[netman74501]

I am using the UDF from here:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27352&st=0

I would like to know how to get the filename of a song that is currently playing in a playlist within the embedded Windows Media Player; (for those of you that wish to be smart elicks: to use in a script that is, as I already know that I can right click the song in the playlist to see the filename). I have searched the MSDN and have found nothing I can comprehend to be useful. Alas, the reason for my posting. I was thinking something like $wmp.currentMedia but it just returns blank. Not sure how to use it really. The entire file path + filename of the song is really what I am after but I think if I can just get the filename of the current playing song I can get the path by other means. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

The original is like this

Case $setting = "getduration"
            Return $object.currentMedia.duration
    EndSelect
EndFunc

Here is the old with the filename addition hope it helps Just add that to the UDF

Case $setting = "getduration"
            Return $object.currentMedia.duration
        Case $setting = "File"
            Return $object.currentMedia.name
    EndSelect
EndFunc

Thank you for replying. I need the actual filename not the name of the song. This returns just the name of the currently paying song. For example: Filename is "example.mp3" while the actual song name is "Example Song". Using your suggestion would return "Example Song", not "example.mp3", which is what I need. I have been unable to find a way to get the filename from the playlist within the embedded windows media player.

This will return full path.

Case $setting = "path"
            Return $object.currentMedia.SourceURL

Case $setting = "path"

Thank you so much! I thought that had tried that before but I guess I messed it up somehow. Edited July 15, 2009 by netman74501
