[Feature Request] Option to separate TV Show premiere year from status / toggle off "- Present"

[lianqq 0]

Hi Luke and Emby Team,

Currently, Emby displays the airing period for ongoing TV shows by forcibly concatenating the premiere year and the status as [Year] - Present (or 2022 - 现在 in localized languages).

Pain points:

1. Visual Clutter: For users who prefer a clean and minimal header layout, having "- Present" appended to the year looks bulky and cluttered.

2. Misleading for Hiatus/Anthology Shows: For many shows that take multi-year breaks between seasons (e.g., British dramas, anthology series), showing "- Present" gives the false impression that it's actively airing new episodes right now.

3. Inconsistency: Movies only display a clean single release year (e.g., 2022), while TV series are forced to show the date range / status.

Suggestions / Proposed Solutions:

1. Display Toggle Option: Add a display setting in User / Display Preferences, such as "Show premiere year only for TV series" (allowing users to display just 2022 instead of 2022 - Present).

2. Or Decouple Year and Status: Separate the Status into an independent badge/tag (e.g., displaying 2022, followed by a separate badge like [Continuing] / [Ended], similar to the TV-MA content rating badge), rather than hard-binding them together.

This would give users much more flexibility to customize their Emby details page and make the metadata display much cleaner.

Thank you for your consideration!
