feature request: display the date for recurring recordings

[toxic0berliner]

I'm recording a daily show using tvhedhend but every recording has the same name so there is no way to distinguish them in any way in the jellyfin UI.

I've hacked my way out of this by editing this plugin so it adds the date before the title every time jellyfin scrapes the content to feed it's library but it's very ugly what I did so I wouldn't make a PR.

So if someone with more understanding of this integration can find a way to make the date actually readable by jellyfin (I believe it passes the wrong date or the wrong field as many of my first attempts failed) and probably even propose some UI changes for tv recordings in the jellyfin UI it would be great!

To be precise on tvhedhend side I have a regexp that automatically plans and performs recordings when the regexp matches which happens every day ;)

Same issue here

I fear this one requires someone that both know the tvheadend API and how tu buil plugins for jellyfin to get a date structure added to the navigation... I fear my dirty plugin hack will have to do for me quite a while. Unless someone that good sees I'm not alone here 😃

@toxic0berliner can you share your dirty plugin hack?

I found another "hack" by adding the recording start time as the "release date" in Jellyfin. With this I can order the recordings by "release date" but it not shown in the overview. Here is the commit: f3f11663de7919c8c3101e2d8874df7a2f8539b3

Remark: You need to rescan the recordings after updating the plugin.
