Prevent files metainfo displaying

Postby Synac » 03 Mar 2011 08:17

Hi all. Guys, I digged up preferences, forum, wiki and the whole web for simple way to prevent meta information reading from files, such as ID3 tag values. I want to see in Playlist window info only provided by XSPF playlists. Changing meta in files is not the appropriate way cus there is many SFV-files supplied with mp3s, wich hash will be losed. Is there any way to this?

What for? I think you didnt understood what I mean... Compare screenshots of Playlist window before (this is right values provided by playlist itself):

and after playing files (values was getted by VLC automatically from mp3 ID3 tags):

As you can see there are serious differences between values getted from XSPF-playlist and mp3s.
All I want is just to always see values provided only by playlists.

Come on, switching off metadata reading must be easy, isn't it? But how without consequences for VLC stable working???
