VLC window custom title

[Sorc17]

Looking for a way to set custom title of VLC player window. --video-title <string> option doesent work ;(

(necro post, but maybe someone google this thread like i am)

it's --input-title or --input-title-format

if need to prevent futher change (on track switch et cetera) uncomment/change:
#qt-name-in-title=1

to
qt-name-in-title=0

in ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc

but yout still get '- mediaplayer VLC' (or smthng like this, i got locale) ending, that kinda 'boo-eee', so you can do something like this (after run vlc):
& sleep 5 ; wmctrl -xr vlc -N your_title


(and yes, i'm almost sure there is way to change it just in config without all this dog-nails)
