Saving playlists of UPnP streams
Following the changes in 3.0.12, VLC is now a viable option to open UPnP servers (such as my Panasonic TV) and stream live channels. These can be saved as playlists but there is a limitation.
After using "Save to Playlist" each channel is correctly named in the new playlist. However, when the playlist is saved to file only the stream URL is saved, not the channel name. Hence, when the playlist is reloaded it displays only the (partial) URLs for ID which is useless.
The work around is to open the information of each item after reloading the playlist and edit it to the correct channel name. Both the URL and the name are then saved for subsequent use. This is laborious and a fix to automatically save both the URL and the corresponding name in UPnP playlists would be appreciated.
