Is there a setting to disable the feature wherein VLC automatically displays the current song-name in the program's title-bar?

This might not even fix my problem but I was hoping there was an easy way to try it. (I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with the Docky app-launcher and Docky always create an additional icon for VLC when you launch it, instead of re-using/updating the original icon. I suspect it's because the VLC window title changes from the original icon name...)

Sure, deactivate it in video preferneces.

I'm not referring to the video filename being displayed on-screen. I'm referring to the audio filename being displayed in the VLC window title-bar.

Hi all !
Is possible to change the window title launching from command line?

I've tried this without success:

vlc -vvv -I dummy http://{user}:{password}@{ip}:{port}/video/mjpg.cgi?profileid=2&sessionid=123456789 --http-reconnect --width=320 --height=240 --http-caching=1000 --video-title=my_cam

Video works fine, but title is still: VLC (XVideo Output)

Any clue?
Tks, Eduard

Works fine here (VLC 1.1.0).
