VLC displaying filename, not playlist TAG

[trysting]

I thought I had this beaten, but the results seem to be hit and miss.

I insert a tag like this into the playlist above the path and filename of the file, but on screen VLC is displaying the filename (not the path)

Code: Select all

#EXTINF:-1,Good Omens S02e01 ../directoryname/filename.ext

On a related note, why doesn't VLC update the meta information in the file according to changes I make while it is playing? The changes appear to only affect the playlist while it is currently being displayed.

I'm not sure VLC can read tags out of external files, especially from an M3U playlist.
