Is it possible to read the track statistics(time, title etc) from a currently playing file in VLC play using a wrapper in a C# console application? does anyone have any recommendations for a wrapper to use?

There is

  • a .NET Interface to VLC which is

    a .Net user control that uses libvlc interfaces

  • Vlc.DotNet which is

    a .net library that hosts the audio/video capabilities of the VLC libraries. In other words, it's a .net wrapper around libvlc.

  • an implementation on CodePlex - DMediaPlayer - Simple VLC frontend. which is

    a simple but nice frontend for VLC media player.
