Description
Before requesting a new feature make sure it hasn't been requested yet.
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/labels/meta%3Afeature-request
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
When using --vf=vapoursynth, I want the .vpy script to be able to get the input video's file path, rather than a clip, so that I can run various decision checks on the input file, which a clip alone does not allow.

Research direction
Start at the --vf=vapoursynth integration and trace how the .vpy script currently receives its clip. Identify where the input video's filepath or URI can be exposed, then verify that a VapourSynth script can use it for input-file decisions.
