[FR] Display channel name as the media title

[FunctionalHacker]

It would be nice if the channel name, or the name of the currently playing program was displayed as the media title. Now it's just some sort af an ID, for example 761849287?profile=pass

Currently, script gets media titles from mpv on playlist loading and doesn't update them from metadata or whatever. I.e. titles are expected to be what "#EXTINF:" entries say.

mpv-iptv/iptv.lua

Line 324 in b74d37a

mp.commandv("loadfile",self.pls[self.plsfiltered[self.wndstart+self.cursor]].filename)

Current program is impossible, but channel name can be done by replacing the line above by this one:

    mp.commandv("loadfile",self.pls[self.plsfiltered[self.wndstart+self.cursor]].filename,'replace','force-media-title='..self.pls[self.plsfiltered[self.wndstart+self.cursor]].title)

I uploaded a working script in my modified version here.

for me @pintassilgo's version does not work out of the box, but i found another way does work for me.

Here are the lines you need to add/update to the one used in this iptv script:

currentMedia = self.pls[self.plsfiltered[self.wndstart+self.cursor]]
mp.set_property("force-media-title", currentMedia.title)
mp.commandv("loadfile",currentMedia.filename)
