I hope this is the right place to post this.
According to this forum post, https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.ph ... 40#p328330,
to get the title bar bar to display the filename and not the metadata, you remove the script at this location:
%Program Files%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\meta\reader\filename.luac
I deleted both of these files on my computer, closed VLC and opened an MP3, and I still don't have the filename in the title bar.
C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\meta\reader\filename.luac
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\meta\reader\filename.luac
Any ideas?
