Default selection when several versions of a file exists

I usually download both an HDTV version and a hi def version. When creating
the jukebox, it seems only the first version alphabetically is used, but I
would like to set a default to use the hi def version if one exists. This
could, I believe, be easily set in the config file. Another option would be
to list both versions, in case one is incomplete or has errors.

YAMJ uses the "title part" of the filename as a unique index for each movie. That's how it's able to link
multiple episodes of TV shows together even if they aren't all named quite the same. One side effect of this
is that if you have two versions of the same movie, you have to give them slightly different names to get
YAMJ to keep them separate.

When I say "title part", I mean the part of the filename that gets recognized as the title. So having one
called "foo.HDTV.avi" and one called "foo.avi" will not work, since YAMJ does not consider keywords like
"HDTV" to affect the title.

So you'll have to call one "foo low.avi" and one "foo hi.avi" or something, and then use .NFOs to tell YAMJ
what the movie really is.

For me, this is really just an issue with tv series, which have a pretty short life
span on my nmt. These will also be in the correct directory, and I was thinking about
using the info from mediainfo (?) to always use the highest definition file. This
could be done for other media as well, and I doubt it would make the jukebox much
slower - if at all.
