Description
As mentioned in the the title. A bunch of thumbnails are in the thumbnail server a without (Disc #) constructs and that works for thumbnails, but not for game database info /explore tab filling.
Obvious alternative is of course not to remove (Disc x) from the m3u file names say disc 1 (or disc 2 in case of game compilations
This is actually a bit annoying but I can deal with it (by making a python script that iterates over playlists to change the label and change my m3u script to stop working removing the (Disc x) but still, I think opening this bug report is worthwhile for being aware.

Research direction
Start by examining how m3u playlist names are matched to game database entries and how the database populates the Explore tab. Compare multidisc names with and without the “(Disc #)” suffix, then verify that both forms resolve to the expected game information without breaking thumbnail matching.
