Naming Movies in Collections to Avoid Duplicates

Any suggestion on how to name movies that are in a collection so that PMS does not think it is a duplicate.

Austin Powers (1997)-International Man of Mystery (PG13)
Austin Powers (1999)-The Spy Who Shagged Me (PG13)
Austin Powers (2002)-in Goldmember (PG13)

This is an example of how I have it named. I added the word “collection” after Austin Powers without success. It thinks 1 and 2 are the same movie.

Austin Powers International Man of Mystery (1997) {imdb-tt0118655}.mp4

Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) {imdb-tt0145660}.mp4

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) {imdb-tt0295178}.mp4

Thanks. You are saying I just need to add the IMDB # after the file name?

You don’t usually have to but my renaming program does it automatically

You can omit that part of it and it should still work

Some collections it does not have any problems and will keep it separate, but others it continues to combines. Not sure what is the difference to cause it. I will give it a try.

Do you mind sharing what renaming program you use that automatically puts the IMDB in there?

This is an older version but it’s free and inputs the imdb number automatically. The new version is also free but doesn’t include that as a benefit

Show Name: ${showTitle} (${showYear}) {tvdb-${showTvdb}}
