Titles in media library are automatically modified since v3, how can I disable this ?

Postby NovHak » 04 Jun 2018 22:12

Dear forum readers,

I recently upgraded my VLC from 2.2.6 to 3.0.3. Now suddenly all my entries' titles in the media library get automatically modified when I read them. How can I keep the titles to something of my choosing, like it used to be before v3 ?

FWIW, the entries are mainly DVB-T multiplex entries, and the automatic title change occurs upon selecting a specific program in the "Playback => Program" menu. It changes to this specific program name, but I want to retain a multiplex-specific title, hence reflecting the whole program group and not this very program, which seems logical since it's a multiplex URL, not a program URL...

So far, I don't think you can.

Merci Jean-Baptiste pour votre réponse,

Let's hope we will go further then ! In the meantime I'll be resorting to workarounds such as using a read-only playlist, or if even this fails maybe switch back to v2, sadly...

Best regards !
