nfo file stopped using original filename in new update

[Mercer 1]

I updated emby and now when I put in new files it no longer uses the exact filename. I have [brackets] in the filenames/folders and it's always imported exactly as I created it when I use the "Home Movies" selection. It used to work just fine but now it's started completely removing the brackets and text inside the brackets when I import. How do I get it to go back to creating an nfo file exactly as the original filename without changing anything?

Folder is named "Mercer - Picnic [2025-09-25]"

Filename inside folder is "Mercer - Picnic [2025-09-25].mp4"

It shows at "Mercer - Picnic" when scanned. When I set it to home movies it used to always just keep it exactly at the filename/folder. It removes the brackets for everything I use them for, not just dates.

OK yes I can reproduce this. We'll get this resolved in the next update. Just be advised that the fix won't change content that's already been imported. Thanks.
