The VideoLAN Forums

I'm running Windows 7 with VLC 2.2.1. I want the titlebar to just show the filename of the track I'm watching eg. "Family Video 26.avi".

In Preferences | Inputs/Codecs | "Change title according to current media" I entered "$F", replacing the default value of $Z which calls for metadata. Now I do get the filename but with full path and with "%20" in place of each space. So I'm seeing "file:///C:/Video/Family/Family%20Video%2026.avi".

Is there a way to just get the filename with no symbols e.g. "Family Video 26.avi"? It has got to be simple but I can't find anything in the Help or the Forum.

Thanks

Standalone $ used to work the way you want.

Thank you... puting "$" alone in the field for "Change title according to current media" gives me what I want - a plain stmt of the filename.

Curious... is this explained anywhere? I didn't find it in Help or FAQ.

Thx again
