I'm a complete python noob, so please go easy.
I'm currently hacking/editing a kodi plugin called pseudo library, so that it cleans up the titles of the streams I'm grabbing so that I can put it into a better looking EPG.
Currently they look like this:
[COLOR white]3E (Now - 07 - 30 That '70s Show) - .strm
I've identified the code that produces this here:
FleName = (title + ' - ' + eptitle + '.strm').replace(":"," - ")
FleName = re.sub('[\/:*?<>|!@#$/:]', '', FleName)
and edited as follows (messy I know and I'm sure there is a much better way, as I said above I'm a noob!)
FleName = (title + '.strm').replace(":"," - ").replace("[COLOR white]","").replace("[COLOR blue]","")
FleName = re.sub('[\/:*?<>|!@#$/:]', '', FleName)
This then changes the above title to:
3E (Now - 07 - 30 That '70s Show).strm
What I really want the output to be is:
3E.strm
The closest answer I can find to my problem is here:

However I also have parentheses within parentheses to remove and the above does not solve that e.g.
Zee Cinema (Now - 19 - 15 Baazigar (1993)).strm
I've looked at strip to remove all characters after and including "(Now" but can't quite work it out. Please can someone provide a universal solution to my problem above so that whether the title is
[COLOR white]3E (Now - 07 - 30 That '70s Show) - .strm OR
[COLOR white]Zee Cinema (Now - 19 - 15 Baazigar (1993)).strm
that it outputs just the title and .strm. So in the examples above:
3E.strm
Zee Cinema.strm
Many thanks for looking and for hopefully helping me resolve my issue.
