File names more then 35 character

DESCRIPTION

VLC shows only the first 30-34 characters of file names.

If you take real examples like:

  • West Eastern divan Orchestra - Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony no 6, BBC Proms, part 2, Live 2010.mp3
  • Wolgang Amadeus Mozart - Piano Concerto in C Major, Adagio (Long version by John Sawman).mp3

It is not possible to see file names directly. There is a marquee effect but there are multiple problems with marquee effect:

1- it does not work when you scroll. If you still touch on the screen the marquee effect not work.

2- marquee effect is slow. For example If you have 40-50 files of "Johann Sebastian Bach", it takes really long time to decide which song I will play. Because normally you decide which song to play after you see them at least once.

3- When you dont touch on the screen and you wait for marquee to finish for that line, sometimes the screen is getting lock automatically.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

It would be great if you can add an option to disable marquee effect and enable 2 line file mode.

For example Vanilla music player shows two lines for each file. And the screen seems cool. You can see all files directly. I attach the screenshot: vanilla_music_player_screenshot
