Hey! I’ve been having an issue where the scanner agents are scanning my media files and then renaming and attaching completely wrong data on them. Case in point ![](https://cdn.pbrd.co/images/GKkwZhU.png) That media file has exactly 0 (zero) relation to “Peter Jennings reporting blablabla”. There’s plenty more where that came from. Also, the moment something starts thinking there, it considers some media files as exact duplicates, which is not helpful at all. I tried prioritizing “Local Media Assets” agent, so it wouldn’t use the forced one called Plex Movie, but it didn’t help. Is there any way I can get rid of this? I don’t mind toggling with the core settings if necessary, because that agent clearly fails sometimes (in my case often enough to completely trigger me for wasting my time). ---
