#657 showing filename when playback starts

[Vojtech Jeso]

Hi,

I edited Core::changeOSD function to show filename when the playing starts:

void Core::changeOSD(int v) {
qDebug("Core::changeOSD: %d", v);

pref->osd = v;

proc->setPausingPrefix(pausing_prefix());
proc->setOSD(pref->osd);

if (v == 1) {
    QString curFileName = mdat.filename;
    QFileInfo fi(curFileName);
    if (pref->auto_add_to_playlist) {
        QStringList playlistFiles = Helper::filesForPlaylist(curFileName, pref->media_to_add_to_playlist);
        curFileName.replace("/", "\\");
        int i = 0, plFilesCnt = playlistFiles.size();
        for (; i < plFilesCnt; ++i)
            if (curFileName == playlistFiles[i])
                break;
        displayTextOnOSD(QString::number(i + 1) + "/" + QString::number(plFilesCnt) + " - " + fi.fileName());
    }
    else {
        displayTextOnOSD(fi.fileName());
    }
}

updateWidgets();

}

it even works when i change osd_delay to less than 2200ms (my setting is now 200ms).

what do you think?

In 16.4 you can add the action show_filename in 'Options>Preferences>Advanced>Run the following actions every time a file is opened....' to achieve this.

I wasn't aware of this. Would you mind sharing with us what to put in there to display the file name every time a file is opened for about 2 seconds?

Edit:
Under the MPV tab, Options input, seems that using this would display the file name in OSD:

--osd-msg1=${filename}

However, it shows it all the time. Reading mpv's manual, --osd-playing-msg should display it when the file starts and then disappear. However, when I add the following, nothing shows up:

--osd-playing-msg=${filename}

[Vojtech Jeso]

I know about that, but in case you have multiple files in playlist it doesnt show total count and the count of the current file.

[Dirk Fieldhouse]

Moreover, show_filename has been replaced by a primitive that displays fuller information about the file, and needs to be restored.

Great! can you tell when this will be release please?? I was expecting this feature for a long time

[Ricardo Villalba]

Version 17.12 adds a new action to display the filename in the OSD. You can add it to "Options>Preferences>Advanced>Run the following actions..."

Passing --osd-playing-msg=${filename} to mpv works as well.

Thank you for the reply. I think it will be useful to set the showOSDText duration in smplayer.ini
2 seconds is very not enough.
Like this:

void Core::showFilenameOnOSD() {
    qDebug("Core::showFilenameOnOSD");
    proc->showFilenameOnOSD(**pref->show_file_name_osd_delay**);
}

void MPVProcess::showFilenameOnOSD(int duration) {
#ifdef OSD_WITH_TIMER
    osd_timer->stop();
#endif
    showOSDText("${filename}", duration, 0);
}

Please consider this.
