VLC Player not ignoring filetypes

My problem is that while i want to use a vlc player to constantly play video files on a monitor as a sort of billboard, The player always plays audio files while it *Shouldnt*

I pull the videos from an UPNP Device which has video files and audio file and i made a batch file to auto start vlc and playback on boot which looks like this
@echo off
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --fullscreen --zoom=1.0--loop upnp://(The video source im using), This works fine, but as said before it also plays the audio files

i used to also have --ignore-filetypes in the file, But it never seemed to work(I tried =mp3 and =.mp3) Then, i went into the preferences, Show all, Then to playlist and added mp3 into the ignored extentions, yet it still plays and fills the playlist with audio files on startup. (I also ignored .wav and .ogg files both when i used --ignore-filetypes and when i used the preferences)

I am at a loss and i feel like i have looked at every post relating to something like this so i decided to finally mae an account myself, Help would be appreciated

Settings of the file system plugin only apply to, well, file systems. This is working as intended.

Ah, well, Is there anyway to well, do it as i need it? As in, Stop the audio files from getting put into the playlist while getting the files from the UPNP
