Hi,

I have just created an M3U playlist of a TV series that I have recorded using VDR.
As I avoid NLS chars and blanks in filenames, the main purpose of the playlist (compared to just dragging all files from the file manager to the VLC playlist window) was the possibility to add titles with NLS chars, blanks, etc.

But when I add hyphens and/or commas to my titles, VLC cuts off a part in the playlist window.
Examples:

Code: Select all

#EXTINF:1244,04 Fred, the boss
#EXTINF:1631,03 Day three - discovery

What can I do to display the full episode title ?

Thanx

Old question, but still unanswered. I have discovered the answer while experimenting.

Just add additonal comma before complicated title:

Code: Select all

#EXTINF:1244,,04 Fred, the boss
#EXTINF:1631,,03 Day three - discovery

and vlc will display title with comma or hyphen without cutting.
