When a video filename ends with " - [1904x1040].mp4" Jellyfin assumes the year is 1904 instead of treating it as part of the label.
For example, with a directory named:
"My Movie (1972)"
And the following video files in that directory:
"My Movie (1972) - [1080p].mp4"
"My Movie (1972) - [1904x1040].mp4"
A metadata scan / library rescan does not work as expected. Instead of the files being treated as different versions of the same movie with different labels, the second file is treated as a second movie with year 1904 and contains no valid movie metadata. In my example, the correct metadata is retrieved for the first file. I am not sure whether that affects this misbehavior or not.
Jellyfin version: 10.9.10
Is this a bug? It seems like it.
Update: This misbehavior does not happen if the labels are not enclosed with brackets, e.g. the filenames are:
"My Movie (1972) - 1080p.mp4"
"My Movie (1972) - 1904x1040.mp4"
