Play plugin: Allow specifying display title using extended m3u #3595

When using the play plugin, the generated m3u file is currently a list of the file paths.

Via Extended M3U, it could allow the user to configure a custom title for every item using a format string. Media players supporting this will profit from a more configurable playlist.

Low priority.

Sounds cool! Out of curiosity, got an example of a music player (presumably one you use) that supports this sort of thing?

mpv supports this feature when displaying the playlist via F8. I couldn't get vlc to load my test m3u file properly.
