resuming playback doesn't reload id3 tag metadata
Description
Audio metadata (ID3 tags, i.e. artist/album/title) doesn't always display correctly in the notification and playlist. Sometimes just the filename (e.g. title.mp3) will display. Toggling pause/play (sometimes more than once) seems to force a refresh.
Expected behavior
ID3 audio metadata always takes precedence over filename
Actual behavior
Full filename (instead of artist/title/album) often displays in notification area & playlist for no apparent reason
Steps to reproduce
- Play a track which has ID3 tags
- Look at the playlist to verify that all upcoming tracks have correct matadata displayed
- Pause and close VLC
- Resume playback (e.g. press play/pause on external earphones)
- Look at the restored VLC playlist and notice that filenames (rather than tag metadata) are displayed
Screenshot / video
Filename (while playing - note the 1-02
prefix which is in the filename. There's also an .mp3
suffix (not visible)):
Proper title (after pausing, closing VLC, re-opening VLC, and clicking the resume playback icon):
Note that repeating this (pause, close & reopen) could result in either Filename.mp3
or Proper Title
