If a file starts with [ in the filename it breaks several aspects of XBMC.
The movie identification process into the library won't identify (perhaps IMDB doesn't like the character??)
Far more importantly though, XBMC doesn't commit / record the fault to the XBMC.LOG file
I did some testing and made a dummy file, I specifically chose a popular english movie title so IMDB wouldn't have issues recognising it
Example file which won't work.
[ANYTHING IN HERE-LOL-TESTING] Avatar (2009).MKV
File which will work

NOTE: I definitely realise this is a stupid naming convention! However I suspect it's probably not hard for the developers to add a line of code to ignore the brackets?

Thanks developers / coders, I hope this helps.
NOTE/FYI: I hope this isn't wasting someones time but for the sake of testing the new filtering system, I'm using a more recent build
