I'm sure this system makes sense to whomever programed it. But personally I
can't see why you would ever want to remove the information inside of
brackets/braces. I know in my case I explicitly put the information in the
file name because I wanted it to be part of the title. If I didn't want it
in the title I wouldn't have put it there. Why does mythvideo guess that I
want part of the title removed?
