Could you show us an action with which you tried to recover data from the filename?  
I am asking as there are a number of posts that deal with nothing but the retrieval of data from filenames in various portions. So I doubt that all actions fail.  
See e.g. the [FAQs](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/converters-to-rename-files-or-to-import-tags/8016/3)
