The following properties are encoded into (or decoded from) the file path:

(series) director, (series) title, (series) year, season, episode, episode title, version, part, part title, language, extension

The proposal is to update the naming scheme to:

Group, The; Lastname, Firstname/The Title[ (YEAR)]/The Title[ ([SXX][EYY])[ Episode Title]][.Version][.Part XY[.Part Title][.en].ext

For example:

Feuillade, Louis/Les vampires (1915)/Les vampires (E01).Part 1.fr.srt
Labarthe, André S_/Cinéastes de notre temps (1960)/Cinéastes de notre temps (S01) Le foo et la bar.VHS Version.fr.srt
Godard, Jean-Luc/Histoire(s) du cinéma (1989)/Histoire(s) du cinéma.Part 1a.Toutes les histoires.fr.srt
Frost, Mark; Lynch, David/Twin Peaks (1991)/Twin Peaks (S01E01) Pilot.European Version.Part 1.en.srt
Coppola, Sofia/The Godfather Part 3 (2012)/The Godfather Part 3.Director's Cut.Part 1.srt

The reasoning is:

"Foo (S01) Bar" is easier to read than the current "Foo.Episode.Bar" (and corresponds to the 0xDB display title)
"Foo (S01E01) Bar" is more common and compact than the current "Foo.Season 1.Episode 1.Bar" (and again corresponds to the 0xDB display title)
"Foo.S01E01.Bar" would be ambiguous ("Bar" could either be Episode Title or Version)
"Foo S01 Bar" would make the meaning of the file name dependent on the directory name ("Codename S77 Revisited")

The following special features would remain untouched:

Season and Episode are numbers, but can be 00 for certain prequels or pilots
Part does not have to be a number, sequence is decided by sort order
Part names are preserved, even though currently not used in the system
The language "en" can be omitted

The same applies to the parsing of underscores:

"_X" -> ".X"
"X_" -> "X."
"X_Y" -> "X/Y"
"X _ Y" -> "X / Y"
"X_ Y" -> "X: Y"

What's missing:

Audio Name: The Title.Remastered Version.Director's Commentary.mp3
Handling * and " in filenames
