File names change when put on a playlist

Postby wedthree » 11 Feb 2013 08:15

Once I put videos in a playlist the file names sometimes change from what I have listed. Its very inconvenient when I need to identify which file I was watching. Is there some kind of fix for this or an option to change this?

At least filename in title bar is possible: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=98333#p361987
Really there should be an option to prefer/display filenames instead of metadata titles.

They said it will be fixed in 2.02 but I have 2.05 and still have the issue. Somehow this is one of the most annoying things to me.
