Description of the bug

When I store a TV show that is identified by Jellyfin, using the naming convention TVShowName/Season 1/S1E1.mkv, and the show TVShowName is identified, then Jellyfin will show the episodes in format

episodename
secondepisodename
thirdepisodename

and so on. For example:

But if I store a TV show that is not identified by Jellyfin, such as original 1943 Batman serial from archive.org, Jellyfin will instead display the episodes in format

S1E1 - episodename
S1E2 - secondepisodename
S1E3 - thirdepisodename

For example:

I am not sure if there is any good reason to duplicate the S1E1 - prefix into the episode name, in scenario when Jellyfin does not autodetect the show, but it would be nice to consistently show the episode name without the S1E1 - prefix in both cases?

Reproduction steps

Upload a TV show that is not autodetected by Jellyfin's built-in metadata scrapers.

What is the current bug behavior?

Show episode names get prefixed with 1. S1E1 - foo which is redundant information.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Show episode names should display just 1. foo like they do when a TV show is identified via a metadata scraper.
