VLC specific information:
VLC has certain codes you can use inside your title.
These are accessible inside --title by using a backslash

e.g. to put the current date in your VLC window title,
the string "\\$A" could be inserted inside your --title string.
A full list of the format codes VLC uses is available here:
https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Format_String/
mpv specific information:
mpv has certain codes you can use inside your title.
These are accessible inside --title by using a backslash
before the dollar sign mpv uses to denote a format character.
e.g. to put the current version of mpv running inside your
mpv window title, the string "\\${{{{mpv-version}}}}" could be
inserted inside your --title string.
A full list of the format codes mpv uses is available here:
https://mpv.io/manual/stable/#property-list

{{title}}
If available, this is the title of the stream.
Otherwise, it is the string "{1}"
{{author}}
If available, this is the author of the stream.

{{category}}

Otherwise, it is the string "{3}"
{{game}}
This is just a synonym for {{category}} which may make more sense for
gaming oriented platforms. "Game being played" is a way to categorize
the stream, so it doesn't need its own separate handling.
