Subtitle found when scanning within folder but not from the parentfolder for the same movie

See original GitHub issue

I have a video:

/volume2/Movies/Jack Reacher- Never Go Back (2016)/Jack.Reacher.Never.Go.Back.2016.1080p.WEBDL.AC3.x264-FGT.mkv

When I try to find a subtitle from within this folder /volume2/Movies/Jack Reacher- Never Go Back (2016) it finds matching subtitles with 90+ scores.

But when I try to do the same but from within the parent directory /volume2/Movies it does find subtitles for that movie but only with scores around 60.

In the debug log from within the Jack Reacher folder it says the following that could have something to do with it:

INFO:subliminal.core:Refining video with metadata
DEBUG:subliminal.refiners.metadata:Found video_codec h264
DEBUG:subliminal.refiners.metadata:Found audio_codec AC3

In the debug log from the parent folder this:

root@LINNAS:/volume1/.@root # pip show subliminal
Name: subliminal
Version: 2.0.5

edit: I did some further testing and apparently it doesn’t play well when the directory has a release year in the name like Jack Reacher- Never Go Back (2016). Changing it to Jack Reacher- Never Go Back it works like it should.
