yeah. i could accept it if there was a strong technical reason -- there is a WEAK technical reason, and the project owner/god won't let it go, like a dog with a rubber bone. so. lame. you are right.

but it's there -- the VLC player just *knowingly* refuses to interpret it.

there you go -- my assumption was that some streams didn't carry the text info, and so i asked zoi "why don't you include it"

Yeah I think I had song names when running direct stream link in VLC iOS. Now using m3u it’s just generic necta

and he was extremely rude to anyoen who opened issues about it. ahahaha. anyway, now we know why.
