Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when recording it adds the year to the dir name (EX: Touched by an Angel (1994)), before They added the year, I had no problems with recordings and complained to the other people and asked to have it changed back/choice/chose our own naming format. Example of recording problems is The Flash, it always grabs the metadata for older one from 1990 and not the one from 2014. I know this isn't the guide data, but something under the hood causing it to grab the wrong metadata and should be looked into as well.

Describe the solution you'd like
Would like to see an option to where we can choose our own naming format for recorded tv such as:

%showname %year/%showname - %S%E - %showtitle.ext

The %S would be S01 & %s would be S1 same with %E 01 or %e 1

This is just an example and I know there are more options like when you are tagging/renaming a mp3 file, everyone has their own naming structure they use.

I hope all this makes sense LOL
I feel that this would help with Jellyfin getting the wrong metadata for the show since it would be tagged correctly already.

Unsure if this is a regression, but at the least it should also be tagged with bug and backend.
