I am working on project in which I need to query the status an XT1143 player via UDP from a Crestron control processor. The presentation has 12 video files and want to send query commands to the player and receive back whether the unit is playing any of the files. I use the commands to update a touch panel with test displaying PLAYER STATUS: Playing or Stopped.

Lyndon I don't know how your project is setup, but you could send a request to find out if the current state is a video file playing. If you setup your project so the default state, is an eventhandler, you could even call it "stopped" so that when the player is on that state, that's the name that's returned.
But, yes, this can be done via plugin...

plugin name "file"
This looks up the active name and stores the state name in a variable called "current"
