Is it possible to have VLC read the title from the playlist instead of the MP3 metadata?
I have tried:
1. tools -> preferences -> all (at bottom) -> Playlist -> uncheck "automatically preparse items"
With this approach, the current mp3 still shows the title from the MP3 metadata but the other MP3s in the playlist show the title from the playlist. When I select the next mp3, VLC reverts to the MP3 meta data. Also, VLC doesn’t show the playlist length which I like to know.
2. tools -> preferences -> all -> input/codecs: title metadata=$N
With this approach, I didn’t notice a change in VLC.
I found an old post where someone wanted to show the file name instead of the MP3 metadata tile but it didn’t seem to get resolved.
I’m running VLC 3.0.19 on Rocky Linux 9.2.
