Auto-Name Personal Files by filename

Feature: Auto-naming HomeVideo ‘Episodes’ with filename of the actual file.

Explanation: I searched and searched but never saw this as a feature request. I assume this has been broght up before since it has its own ‘attention’ box when you go to a Plex page describing how to add Personal/Home Videos.

I have a file path/name(s):

C:/HomeMovies/Christmas/2005/Christmas - S01E01 - Christmas Eve.mp4
C:/HomeMovies/Christmas/2005/Christmas - S01E02 - Christmas Day.mp4
C:/HomeMovies/Christmas/2006/Christmas - S01E01 - Christmas Eve.mp4
C:/HomeMovies/Christmas/2006/Christmas - S01E02 - Christmas Day.mp4
C:/HomeMovies/Christmas/2006/Christmas - S01E03 - Christmas Presents.mp4

And in PLEX, it auto-sorts with the ‘Series Title’ being Christmas, ‘Season Separators’ being 2005,2006,etc. (which is great) but then just lists the ‘Episodes’ as “Episode 1,2,3,etc” and doesn’t take into account the filenames ‘Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, etc.’

This would not only save my hours in hand typing titles but would make me not want to murder someone if I ever have to rebuilt my PLEX_DB for some reason.

I want the default behavior of Home/Personal Videos (or a check box to enable) to name an episode after the filename instead of just saying ‘Episode 1’.
