Option to ignore reading of media 'title' metadata altogether in favour of anything else

[MarkusNaeher]

Expected behavior of the wanted feature

This is a follow-up of #11653. The solutions presented there are almost what I would prefer, but not quite:
I often use m3u playlists, and the --osd-playlist-entry option seems to offer only media-title which is again the title read from the file's metadata or the filename (or both, which can be very long). But I could not get it to display the title as specified in the m3u.

I think the best (and hopefully easiest) way would be --ignore-metadata-from-file or something similar, and this would result in displaying the title from the m3u or (if missing) the filename. Like it currently does when the metadata is not there.
I also think that extending the --osd-playlist-entry option would make things more complicated, because you sometimes play a m3u playlist, and sometimes files directly. And I have no idea on how to reflect priorities in such an option.

I would like to have such an option for the playlist of select.lua where I would prefer the filename for the selected item. I often prefer the filename in other situations too. Often it can be configured, but not always.

Recently I changed file names for all of my music. Now it looks like this, for example:

Bob Dylan - All Along the Watchtower - 1968.opus
Bob Dylan - Knockin' On Heaven's Door - 1973.opus
Bob James - Nautilus - 1974.mp3
Bob Marley - Jamming - 1977.opus
Bob Marley - Redemption Song - 1980.opus
Bobby Byrd - I Know You Got Soul - 1971.opus

Most of my music is from the 70s and the 80s. The tags have the album, the title, the artist, the year, and the cover art.

The full song list is here:

In mpv.net I show music info with this code:

if (FileTypes.IsAudio(path.Ext()))
{
    text = Player.GetPropertyOsdString("filtered-metadata");
    Player.CommandV("show-text", text, "5000");
    return;
}

select.lua already respects --osd-playlist-entry.

Helpful, thanks.
