Pretty much in the title - the song that is currently playing is NOT highlighted in the VLC Playlist.
And also another problem - VLC only shows metadata names of the songs, never the file names.
It's really frustrating, because it's so hard to see what is playing now, especially with a big playlist and files with incorrect metadata.
I've always had those problems. Today I updated to the latest 1.0.5 version, but it didn't help.

You will be able to find it here, when the build is available: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videol ... -1.1.0-rc/
Edit: build now available

Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

It's version 1.1.8 now already and I still don't see any fix to that problem - the currently playing song is not highlighted in the playlist, and VLC doesn't display filename - only the name that it reads in the metadata, which is often just wrong or corrupted...

I'm using 1.1.12 and the same problem still exists.
If I change the metadata title to the filename and save my change, all is well.
But when I restart VLC, I find that the metadata change was NOT actually stored, and I'm back to square one.
A toggle in the preferences to choose between displaying the metadata title or the filename would be fabulous!
