title: How to monitor VLC media player on Windows 7 using Python?
body: <p>I want to know what's currently playing on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player" rel="noreferrer">VLC media player</a> (Windows&nbsp;7) using Python 2.7. Just knowing the details of the track/video is sufficient.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Research:</strong> I came to know that VLC media player has <a href="https://wiki.videolan.org/Python_bindings" rel="noreferrer">python-bindings</a>. I also found out a way to play some track using a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29" rel="noreferrer">Python</a> script. But I couldn't find a suitable way to check what's being played on VLC media player.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Clarification:</strong> I have the script running. I play a audio track on my VLC media player manually on my machine, and I want that script to detect and show the details of the track present for the file playing.</p>
