Recognize names with year or dates prepended when looking up

I have my video collection sorted by genre and then by date, with each video file name having the form e.g. "2014 foo.mkv". Serviio doesn't seem to recognize that there's a year in front of the name and fails to properly look up metadata (almost all of the time).

It would be useful if the parser checked for likely years ("2014") or dates ("2014-04-16") prepended to filenames.

Year is recognized, but only after the file name. Ideally it should also be in brackets.

I understand that a trailing year is recognized; my point is that it would be nice to have a leading year/date recognized as well. Some of us *like* our files to be organized by year and have large collections organized this way; with the year appended to the name you're sorting by name, not by year.
