How to add two identical movie names with the same year

Swan Song (2021) [Udo Kier, Jennifer Coolige]
Swan Song (2021) [Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris]

I’ve tried renaming folder from “name (date) to what appears above
I’ve tried renaming file name as what appears above as well.
The first item in the list appears displays and plays normal.
The second movie will appear as another version and will play as well.


Is there any way to get Plex to identify two identical name and date movies”
I thought of at least creating my own cover showing both movies, but I’d like to be able to change the name of each version if possible, and the actor list…well maybe can’t be done?

I’ve used Plex for years and never ran across two identical named movies of the same year.

From the library grid you can split apart and just fix match which ever one needs it

If using the new Plex Movie agent you can add the IMDB id in { } to folder/files names. Naming and organizing your Movie files | Plex Support
