HI Guys
I have a real issue for the past 6 weeks about 5 to 10% of my Movies all get named the Cars Movies.
But they are titled correctly and it is really weird behaviour.
Please see image and XML which looks wrong!!
I have no idea what is going on.

XML file HERE
“UJxaHhPS3zP5A80bAb1U96DnHX5de.mkv” is a correct title?
Strictly follow Plex organization & naming standards, including directory names. Details in “How to find discrepancy…” linked by @OttoKerner.
You should Plex Dance the movies while you’re at it.
I have found out it is connected with another issue I am getting. I get 5 to 10% movies end up in a unpack folder but nothing is wrong with them. They play 100% of the time had this issue for about 6 - 10 months.
No idea why it is doing it for such a small number never happens with TV shows only Movies.
Plex tries very hard to match movies and often succeeds even though the naming is very wrong but there is no guarantee that future badly named movies will be matched.
The only way to get even close to good consistent matching is to follow Plex’s naming conventions exactly.
You can even add a bit to help Plex. All my movies are named:
MovieName (Year released) (IMDB ID).ext
The MovieName is exactly as it appears in TMdb and the optional IMDB ID is the id for that movie as it appears in the IMDB database.
I found that the few movies I have that consistently mismatched were fixed after I added the IMDB ID.
FileBot is your friend in naming files for Plex. To get the IMDB ID just include {(imdbid)} at the last place in your FileBot movie format string.
One more thing in all the movie agents settings you should more “Local assets” below everything else.
