Description of the bug
New movie recordings did not have the correct folder / file name structure. That results very often in wrong matedata of each recorded movie. For example, metadata shows the actual year instead of the year when the movie was released.
In the past, the folder- and file name of the recorded movie had this structure:
{movie title} {year}
Recordings are done via IPTV, XMLTV shows the metadata.
Here is one example:
Reproduction steps
What is the current bug behavior?
The folder name is using only the movie title.
The file name contains of the movie title and the actual date / time.
Example:
"China - Die neue Weltmacht/China - Die neue Weltmacht 2025_12_17_09_30_00.ts"
What is the expected correct behavior?
The folder name should have the movie title and the year in brackets.
The file name should have the same structure as the folder name.
Example:
"China - Die neue Weltmacht (2025)/China - Die neue Weltmacht (2025).ts"

I've a workaround meanwhile. I'm using a post-processing script which does the renaming stuff.
