I would suggest you use the "status" query (as documented in the 'CLI
documentation'
(http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Logitech/slimserver/public/7.9/HTML/EN/html/docs/cli-api.html)
rather than to try to grab the information from the track object
yourself. That's what all the other UIs do, and it does the difficult
part for you.
Code:
--------------------
# request the current player's status. Starting with the current track ('-'),
grab information for one single track:
my $r = $client->execute(['status', '-', 1, 'tags:aKl']);
# playlist_loop of the response is a list of track information hashes. We
only have requested on - grab it:
my $track = $r->getResult('playlist_loop')->[0];
# extract the nice pieces of information from the $track hash ref:
my $artist = $track->{artist};
my $album = $track->{album};
my $title = $track->{title};
