Interesting. I don’t know why I didn’t think to check IMDb. Probably because there’s no mention of Plex using it (other than displaying the ratings). Everything I’ve come across says it pulls metadata from TMDb. Now I know, thanks. ---

Maybe from embedded meta data in the mp4 file? Titles may also differ depending on what language has been selected for the library. ![grafik](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/0/4/3/043b16d860f71039d93f887567e00e7552e1c62f.jpeg) ---

Wild suggestion here! I see your poster has some embedded ratings on it. Could whatever you are using to do that be effecting the title somehow? Also, I assume your using the new modern plex movie agent/scanner, right? Failing that, plex logs after a [plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) on the movie will help figure out what’s happening. ---

The ratings are from Plex Meta Manager, but that shouldn’t affect the titles afaik. Yes. I’ll prepare them after a new dance. ---

I don’t use plex meta manager but according to their website … Manage metadata [artwork, titles, summaries, release year, etc.] for anything on your Plex server. … which states titles so it could be a factor. ---

If we’re still talking about Æon Flux, my PMS also shows it as Aeon Flux. I know it wasn’t always like that, so I can only assume that, for some reason, Plex is taking the name from IMDB’s “alternative spelling”. This probably only affects users who have their library language set to “English”. ---
