filename1 not appearing in .txt files?

[Thexterax]

Hey there, trying to get the filename without extensions but I can't see "filename1". It's not showing up in %appdata%\Roaming\vlc

Am I doing something wrong?

1) Be sure to use the last version. 2) Please, could you share with me the code/txt of your custome file. And eventualy, the expected file name. 3) There are a debug file named "np_metadata.txt" that contain all usable metadata/tag name for the curent track played. If filename1 doesn't appear in this file, then you couldn't use it (although it seems very unlikely)

I am using the latest version.

What do you mean with custome file & expected file name?

np_metadata.txt has "{filename1}:" yes.

Am I supposed to change the .lua file to get the filename1 to show up? If yes, please advice on how to do so.

I was assuming there would be a np_filename1.txt show up with this extension. if this doesn't happen automaticly. please tell me how to get it to work.

No, you don't need to edit the lua.

Now Playing in Texts integrates a system of custom files.

For you, you just need to create a file "np_custom.txt" with this text inside {filename1} and a file "np_custom_out.txt" will be created with the file name, without extension.

To learn more about the custom file system, I recommend you to read the doc "Now Playing in Texts - doc.xhtml" download (open the file i your web brower)

(And nope, Now Playing in Texts does not create a np_filename1.txt. If he had to create a file for each metadata, it would be very quickly the mess in your folder with full of file everywhere, hence the creation of the system for custom files)

Ok. Thank you very much for the detailed information. it's working now. It was not clear to me that I had to create a custom.txt file.

Thanks!
