I have 2 films, Zombie Flesh Eaters (aka Zombie) and Zombie Creeping Flesh (aka Hell of the Living dead)  
No matter how I label them or how many times I try the [Plex dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064), move them to other drives etc. They always get picked up as the same film “Zombie” and not as separate movies..

This screenshot shows the mediainfo of `Star Wars (1977).mp4`, not some Zombie picture.

Do the following:  
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie  
and  
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase  
in both places grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ and drag it downwards, so it ends up at the bottom of the list.

Then rename your movie file exactly like its official title is listed at [TheIMDb](http://www.imdb.com/ "TheIMDb"), followed by its release year in parentheses.  
i.e. `Zombie (1979).mp4`

Then perform the [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/908454/#Comment_908454 "Plex Dance").

Another thought without the “Plex Dance”

Select the movie entry.  
Perform “Split Apart”  
Then try “Fix Incorrect match” for each with the IMDB name for the movie or manually edit it and add image and text.

Might work easier. Maybe… Dunno
