    lookup metadata with modified file name?

    is it possible to perform metadata lookup not with the original filename, but a modified file name?

    I have many movie files downloaded from OTR (Onlie TV Recorder). These files have a special naming, like this:
    The_Hateful_8_18.03.11_22-20_sf2_170_TVOON_DE.mpg.HD.avi

    First there is the name of the movie/recording, followed by additional information like date, time, station, length of recording etc. When Jellyfin uses this file name for metadata lookup it does not find anything. I can manually rename the file to "The_Hateful_8.avi" and this can be handled correctly.

    I don't want to rename all my files, but like to have the metadata lookup working. Is it possible to have the filename run through some kind of filter/conversion before the lookup takes place? Within Kodi this is possible by applying a regular expression during the lookup process. Is that also possible with Jellyfin?

    Thanks in advance!
