Metadata / Filename in title bar?

[Dojjan]

Title metadata field in my BD rips contain only series name and disc number which is rather useless as it displays the same text no matter what file I play.

How do you configure VLC player to display filename (path excluded) in the title bar instead of useless metadata?

Thank you, mederi!

EDIT: To VLC staff/programmers: get your heads out of your b**** and stop being elitist and treating people as idiots. Your preferences is rife with it!

Still no solution from VLC. VLC displays wrong annoying metadata when playing, instead of the filename which would be correct and useful.
Can't VLC do something about it?
Please give the option to display the filename, how hard can it be?

Change the "input-title-format" string in the preferences to whatever you want.

THIS.
So much this.
What if I told you that a lot of users aren't programmers or developers? We don't want to muck around with 'input title format' strings, they do not give us the option we want! THERE IS NO TITLE STRING TO DISPLAY THE FILENAME! Either make "$f" a valid argument for displaying the filename, and then we can use the title string, or let us shut the damn tag parser off so it displays the filename.

Putting

input-title-format=$p

in the vlcrc file, located in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\vlc, solves this for me. (Posting this here as this is the first hit on Google)
