Reliable for all cases is one thing, but it should support scene naming fairly trivially. The approach they are taking seems to lose information that's within the filenames, particularly with movies (i.e. the year).

For scene naming you don't really need to filter much of anything out, the tokens are there to split on already. For TV "<seriesname>\.S<ss>E<ee>\.<junk>", for movies "<moviename (greedy if REGEX)>\.<yyyy>.\<junk>".

Just a strange choice to go with something nonstandard that you can't come back from. It's a barrier to testing it.
