Blue box top left corner

What does it mean when there’s a little blue box in the top left-hand corner of a movie with a number in it?

It means Plex has found several files on disk, which it thinks are the same movie/episode/video.
Inspect the Plex media info of the item to see the file names and eventually resolve this.
