I came here because the same problem with the same Stargate release LOL, But mine it's slightly more problematic:I'm playing an old Stargate SG1 rip and the old VLC used to display the file names, since the change the playlist is unusable with certain files. The entire rip I have has this in the title bar: "#Stargate-SG1-Sweden & #nandub on DALnet" VLC now displays this as the name for every episode in the playlist
Code: Select all
%Y-%m-%d - $N [$T] n°
Code: Select all
function read_meta()
local metas = vlc.item:metas()
local name = metas["filename"];
vlc.item:set_meta("title", name)
end
Code: Select all
"ShowName - s01e01 - EpisodeName.ext" => "ShowName S01E01"
It doesn't work for me T_T (use abcAVI to change the title tag in an AVI)Don't know why it's not working for you. Maybe the file has some kind of tags.I'm also not familiar with lua, but as I understand the source, this should do the trick:Code: Select allfunction read_meta() local metas = vlc.item:metas() local name = metas["filename"]; vlc.item:set_meta("title", name)endA short test shows that it seems to work, but i don't know if it overrides tags.Just copy it in a in a textfile named filename.lua and copy it to the given folder (removing the filename.luac file).Edit:Btw, I think VLC 2.0 has an option to not use tags in files. (Preferences -> All -> Playlist)
Who wants to work on a volunteer project when the only thing we get is insults and agressivity from users like yourself?Who wants to update when the only ever 'improvement' is more bugs and arrogance?
Ad nauseam. This thread is YEARS old, everyone else has been a lot nicer than me, so don't pretend like your arrogance isn't a major factor here.Who wants to work on a volunteer project when the only thing we get is insults and agressivity from users like yourself?Who wants to update when the only ever 'improvement' is more bugs and arrogance?
Not fixing the bugs that matter to you is not arrogance.Ad nauseam. This thread is YEARS old, everyone else has been a lot nicer than me, so don't pretend like your arrogance isn't a major factor here.
I thought it was because of the tags, no matter what software was used to encode or label O_o.VLC developers cannot fix bugs in files that they did not encode. The bug comes from stupid and/or obnoxious encoding software.
Users that want/need it will surely find it (I usually search all the advanced options). Anyway, ¿can a Lua script solve this?Even if there was an option to show the file name instead of the title from the meta data, most users would not know where to find it, or even what it really does. And if VLC showed the file name always, users would complain that it is less legible than the media title. We simply cannot please everyone.
So I just tested the latest nightly (it used my actual vlc2.0.1 configuration, maybe a clean, portable vlc would be more usefull) and find this:It is fixed in 2.1, no?
