Avoid special symbols in incremental naming, e.g. ssr-(1).mp4 -> ssr-1.mp4 #892

Producing consecutive recordings with ssr names the pieces automatically as follows:

   ssr.mp4 -> ssr-(1).mp4 -> ssr-(2).mp4 -> ...

This makes processing form a Makefile (which doesn't handle special chars gracefully) more difficult.

Can the naming pattern become configurable, so one can omit special chars, so one an have a plain naming scheme:

 ssr.mp4 -> ssr-1.mp4 -> ssr-2.mp4 -> ...

Best regards, /Pepe

I will remove the parentheses. As a workaround you could also configure SSR to append a timestamp.
