Disable stream metadata change window VLC title
Posted: 10 Nov 2024 10:29
Hello,
I use VLC to play an audio stream (from Icecast or Shoutcast).
The issue is that the stream’s metadata changes the VLC window title, usually displaying the artist and track title.
I have tried several commands to disable this behavior or even force VLC to use a specific window title.
Here is the command I’m using:
When I launch VLC, the window title is correctly set to "Stream 1" (like define with command --meta-title="Stream 1"), but after a few seconds, it gets replaced by the metadata from the stream.
I’ve tried the --no-metadata-network-access command to disable network metadata, but it doesn’t work.
I’ve also tried --no-audio-meta-title, but it doesn’t help either.
Finally, I’ve tested --no-icecast, but this command doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Do you have any idea which command could prevent a stream from changing the VLC window title with its metadata?
Thank you for your help,
Max
