The VideoLAN Forums

During playing a file in VLC-Player I usually can see the filename of a video at the top and at the bottom of the window. Sometimes not the filename is shown but an other name of the video.
Sometimes I have to handle many videos. Then it's important for me to see the filename at every time.
Is it possible to see the filename everytimes either at the top at the bottom? Did'nt I see a knob for this feature or is there not such a feature?
Excuse me for my English

A friendly expert in the german forum (kodela) wrote that there is a possibility for a workaround.

In the expanded preferences (Tools -> Preferences (Show all settings) -> Input / Codecs) is on the right side just down the entry "Change title according to current media". With the parameter "#F" I can see the path for the current media in the title-bar and the status-bar.

Unfortunately gives the parameter "#F" the complete path and not simply the filename. And the filename appears not as a clear name but he is encoded (url-encoded?).

Is it possible to create another parameter for the clear filename?

Is it possible to choose different parameters for the title-bar (in the top of the window) and the status-bar (in the bottom of the window)? Two times the same is abundant!

I repeat: sorry for my english.

Best regrets

Try to use $p instead of $F.

Thank you mederi! That's the solution for my actual problem.

These parameters give so many possibilities for information! I repeat it: different parameters for the title-bar (in the top of the window) and the status-bar (in the bottom of the window) would enable us to use them.
