VLC is auto generating metadata based on MKV file name?

Postby mauve » 15 Aug 2023 23:32

HOW can I stop this behavior?

the file's metadata is empty. if i rename the file to "fdsa.mkv" and play, vlc will use its file name as title, so "fdas.mkv"

but if i rename the file to "fdas.S01E01.whatever.mkv", then vlc will show the title as "fdsa S01E01"

this doesnt happen with mp4 files, only mkv. how can i stop this? thank you
