You're still going to run into an "valid" issue where two completely different videos have the same name. When it comes to CMS, even if they're dupes, they're valid. The client is responsible for weeding out the duplicates. Just getting the name (in your instance), wouldn't do you any good. It's almost like you'd also want the MD5 checksum of the file as well or something else. There really is no way to determine if it's a duplicate or not until it's on the server. The name alone is not enough to go on.
