The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, please can someone provide a list of the options that can be used to set the title bar (i.e. what can be set in: Tools > Preferences (adv) > Input / Codecs > "Change title according to current media".

For example, so far I understand you can use...
• $F: <URL-encoded file path>
• $Z: <Contributing Artists> - <Title>[/list]

... but the full list would be great!

Thanks in advance!

If you move your mouse over the text field, there is a tooltop:

Hi @rom1v -- Thanks for your post, can't believe I never noticed the tooltip popup! 🤦🏼‍♂️

I did a quick bit of testing and noticed that unfortunately the tooltip codes weren't 100% correct / complete 😕 so decided to compile my own list.

For anyone that wants it, here is the complete list of codes I could confirm* [a-z, A-Z]...



*NB: Some codes gave indeterminate results (e.g. in my test file, $P = '0.0'), so have not included these for now (but if anyone wants these, please ask and I can post).

I opened an issue: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/25791
