Hi,

I have several files with identical metadata (e.g. "newspodcast"), so when playing I have to go to media information to find out which file is exactly playing.
Is there a way to display the filename in the titlebar instead of the metadata and/or the program name?

Any help appreciated

Yes, set it in preferences.

Can you tell me where? I've been looking for it, but im not sure which is the right option.

Menu Tools -> Preferences (Show settings = ALL) -> Input/Codecs
Then at the very bottom of the right panel set the option "Change title according to current media" to "$F" (without quotes).
Save, exit and restart VLC.

ok, that does the trick. Thank you!
