xbmc-11.0-Eden_beta2 has no problem
XBMC strips anything within square brackets before displaying the name. This is because info about the stream is often put within square brackets and most people don't want this info cluttering up the display names. This changed between beta 2 and beta 3.

I think there is a setting to disable the tidying up of file names, but I can't remember it. Can anyone else help?
