I'm trying to get the name of the current file playing in VLC. Applescript SHOULD be able to do this with VLC 2 and on (it's in the dictionary, "name of current item") however it keeps not compiling, because it "expected end of line but found identifier."
What's going on?
Edit: Here is the part of the code that's not working
tell application "VLC"
get name of current item
end tell
DOUBLE EDIT: Whole script
tell application "VLC"
set clipname to get name of current item
end tell
set oldDelim to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
--set clipname to text item 1 of clipname
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelim
return clipname
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Something weird is happening. I swear when I opened one of my applescripts before, it rightfully said "current time" with no problems. But when I opened it again, it said <<class AACT>>
, and won't let me type current time instead.
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT: It just did it again. When I quit and reopened applescript, it showed up/worked like it should.
