Titles in Playlists

[Gurok]

Hello,

I've been browsing around the VLC documentation and I couldn't work out how to do this. I have a playlist file with the following:

playlist.vlc
--
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
Title1=Big Buck Bunny
File1=\\192.168.1.2\Video\Open Movies\Big Buck Bunny (2008)\Big Buck Bunny (2008).mkv
--

When I open the playlist with VLC, it shows the movie title in white text, but it appears to be using the title tag inside the MKV, so it's something like:

Big.Buck.Bunny.2008.1080p.BluRay.X264-AMIABLE[rarbg]

I know I can change the title inside the file, but I don't want to have to edit all of my royalty free media. Is there a command line switch or configuration option that will tell VLC to use the value of "Title1" instead of the MKV's title tag?

Note: I would need this to work for playlists with multiple entries, so if I have Big Buck Bunny and Sintel in the same playlist, each would show its own title.

Thanks in advance.
