I didn’t know where else to put this but the issue I am having is that Plex is taking 2 movies and combining them together in the library layout. The movies in question are: 1. I Am Legend (2007) 2. Legend (1985) I have these in 2 separate folders and named as above. No matter what I do, I can’t get them to not be combined. I have also gone through the metadata of each file to make sure nothing is crossed over and there is nothing there. I have had this issue in the past and I was able to fix it by removing one file from the movie directory on my server and then putting it back in, but for some reason, I can’t with this one. ![i am legend](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/5/e/5e1e7dbf398b2d8ca6c15a6921b6ec3507d6c6d8.jpeg) ![i am legend 2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/1/d/1d1c29aae551e4d18112b59b09c6116131976e10.jpeg) ---

What version of Plex Media Server? If v1.20 or higher, which agent are you using, Plex Movie or Plex Movie (Legacy)? Instead of just moving the files in/out of the library, do a full [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064) for both movies. Add them back one at a time. If Plex still combines them, then split them apart and perform a Fix Match on the one that is mis-identified.

If you are using the new Plex Movie agent, you can add the IMDB/TMDB ID to the folder & file name. Plex will use it for matching. See [Naming & Organizing Your Movie Files](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/) for info on how to add the ID. Ex: `Batman Begins (2005) {imdb-tt0372784}.mp4` To change from the legacy to new movie agent, see [Scanners & Agents](https://support.plex.tv/articles/categories/plex-media-server/scanners-agents/) -\> [Upgrading a Movie library to the use the new Plex Movie Agent](https://support.plex.tv/articles/upgrading-a-movie-library-to-the-use-the-new-plex-movie-agent/). ---

Include the year into the folder name as well. Try a simple “Split”, followed by “Fix Match” on one of them. ---
