File naming convention for downloads

[tomeczeka]

Describe your suggested feature

At the moment downloaded files of movies and TV don't follow general convention. Movies are named Title.mp4 and TV series are put into folders Serie Title and files are named Season X Episode Y - Episode Title.mp4. This is troublesome, because some players, such as Nova Player have trouble reading this unconventional formatting and can't tell what data they are dealing with. It can be changed manually to fit the convention but is troublesome and labour intensive. I therefore suggest switching to common convention for media libraries, which is:

• for movies: Title (year).mp4, because CloudStream does have release info anyway
• for TV folders: Serie Title (year) and files Serie Title SXXEYY Episode title.mp4

Other details

As seen in the two attached screenshots below, I downloaded S03E09 and S03E10 but Nova thinks they are S01. Renaming to fit the convention does fix this.

Also for whatever reason VLC is unable to play these files

You sure about it? Because in-app picker for downloads in fact uses the "regular" naming anyway (Sxx:Eyy), as seen below:
