Title in video player displays release year for movies rather than production year #5736

Description

@854562

Describe The Bug
Since 10.9 (PR #3621), the year is appended to the video title in the video player. However, this is the release year (metadata editor: Release date) and not the production year (metadata editor: Year) . Usually these do not differ, but sometimes they do. In some cases/locales, movies are not released until years after their production year.

I think this would only need to be changed for movies, not for tv episodes.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Play movie for which production year and release year metadata are different.
  2. OSD video title will show "Movie (Release year)" rather than production year.

Expected Behavior
In most (all?) contexts, when a year is displayed in parentheses next to a movie title, this is the production year. I would argue this would be expected here too.

The movie listings display the production year as well, so it would be expected for them to correspond.
