Well, here, the default string isn't using any $, so it should work by
default in libVLC.
Moreover, if there is no playlist, it doesn't fail, it is just
useless...

Finally, this naming feature in the scene is a regression compared to
the old vout snapshot...

If you have any other clever idea, please do tell...

Best Regards,
