Chapter name does not update

Description

When playing a FLAC audio file that has chapter names, only the first chapter name is displayed. After allowing the file to play into the next chapter, or seeking into another chapter, the first chapter name is still displayed.

This is especially noticeable in Android Auto, but happens in just the android-app as well.

Expected behavior

Consider a (.flac) file with the following (partial) VORBIS_COMMENT:

    comment[10]: CHAPTER001=0:00:00.00
    comment[11]: CHAPTER001NAME=Released
    comment[12]: CHAPTER002=0:02:18.25
    comment[13]: CHAPTER002NAME=Wild Life
    comment[14]: CHAPTER003=0:03:23.50
    comment[15]: CHAPTER003NAME=Another Walk

While playing this from the beginning, the chapter title "Released" is correctly displayed. After two-and-a-half minutes, or if seeking to about that mark, VLC should show that it is playing "Wild Life". This should also show up in the car's display when using Android Auto.

Actual behavior

VLC still shows that it is playing "Released". The chapter name only changes if "Go to chapter" is used.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Play an audio file with chapters. (Example. Not sure if it needs to be FLAC, specifically?)
  2. Either wait for the next chapter to start, or scrub past the first chapter.
