Get the current playing file from PowerDVD

[jeas]

I hope, I'm not the first girder user with this problem and somebody solved it already: Is there a way to get the filename of the current playing file in PowerDVD? DVDSpy obviously isn't helpful in this case. Any other ideas?

I do not know any way to do this... :(

It's true that DVDSpy doesn't know about files because it just displays what's on the OSD or the "remote" skin.

However, when playing a file, isn't the filename the title of the video window? Even when full screen. So, look for a window in the POWERDVD executable whose class is CyberLink Video Window Class and get its title. If the title is the initial default, then assume it is playing a DVD and not a file.
