Media File name not showing as it did before.

[roleli]

Describe the bug Companion not displaying the files names of media sources being used in OBS

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

In Companion: Set up a connection in Companion to an OBS Instance via WebSockets

In OBS: Create a scene and add media source as shown below

Scene: test Source: testmedia File_name : testvideo.mp4

Move the test scene from preview to program or select the scene to start playing

In Companion: Check in values returned in these variables for the OBS instance. $(obsp:current_media_name) works - returns testmedia $(obsp:media_file_name_testmedia) does not work - returns nothing. Should return testvideo.mp4

In the past we could use this to get the file name of the current media file playing $(obsp:media_file_name_$(obsp:current_media_name)) . In this e.g. testvideo.mp4

Note if the a VLC Video source type is used instead of a media source within OBS it works as expected. (if the VLC source has more than 1 file it only shows the name of the first file)

Version Information:

• Operating System: Window 10
• OBS Version: OBS 30.0.0
• Companion Versions: 3.2.0 and 3.1.2

It looks like something might have changed slightly in the data coming in via websocket, and it broke this. I'm not sure what version of OBS the change happened, but I was able to recreate the issue.

I have fixed this, and the fix will be in the next version of the module.

(if the VLC source has more than 1 file it only shows the name of the first file)

This is currently by design, as with the current API we have no way to know what the currently playing VLC playlist file is. And I figured that putting all the file names on a small button wouldn't be useful. But if you have more feedback about that given the limitations, let me know!

@bryce-seifert Thanks for the fix. Understand the VLC limitation. Hope my commenting does not reopen the case as that is not my intention.
