Research direction

Start by locating KTagLib and tracing how its properties() map and tag() result are used by both local providers. When properties() has no TITLE, use the Matroska segment title from tag()->title(), so both providers stop falling back to the file name.

Description

bug

Follow-up to #367. ffmpeg writes a Matroska file's title into the segment info, not as a tag. KTagLib only returns TagLib's properties() map, which omits it, so both local providers use the file name as the title. Fix in KTagLib: when properties() has no TITLE, fall back to tag()->title(). Album/artist are fixed on main by reading the file's tags (fed7af7dd).
