New Plex Movie Agent Uses Metadata Titles

Server Version#: Version 1.22.1.4275
Player Version#: Version 1.22.1.4275

I recently switched over to the new Movie Agent and now my MATCHED movies are displaying their file metadata “titles” in the title fields. I want Plex to only display the title that’s part of the TMDB match.

An example:

I do have the Local Media Assets agent set to last, which is supposed to avoid this problem:

Any ideas? This wasn’t a problem with the Legacy Movie agent, but I don’t think it’s possible to switch back.

Edit the Movie Library
Advanced
Disable: Prefer Local Metadata

Note:
If you switched your library over to the new Agent - and didn’t Refresh Metadata for THE ENTIRE LIBRARY… you should do that. I hear if you had LMA demoted for the Old Agents, when you complete the update by Refreshing The Library, ‘Prefer Local Metadata’ is disabled for you. I cannot confirm the accuracy of that ‘feature’…
