m3u8 playlist and track name

Postby ottawahacker » 16 Mar 2022 00:47

I know this is not directly related to VLC stream-output but I'm trying to implement a m3u8 server and was wondering if there is any way to get to vlc the name of the current track (in playback).
I tried #EXTINF:10,Test Name1 - name2.mp3 but "Test Name1 - name2.mp3" is never displayed. Is there any attribute I can use to display the name of the current track being played in the stream?

You have to choose whether you're making a manifest or a playlist. You can't have it both ways. You can definitely put a title in a playlist.
