All of the sudden my PMS is naming movies with their downloaded file name instead of the renamed file or folder name.  
ie. For the newly downloaded X-Men Apocalypse, which is located in d:\Movies\X-Men Apocalypse (2016)\X-Men Apocalypse.mp4, it is downloading the correct metadata, but the title of the movie is;  
X-Men.Apocalypse.2016.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC-RARBG  
This used to happen to the odd movies I downloaded, but I just downloaded 20 movies, and 12 of them were named like this.  
A rescan does not fix it, and if I unmatch, and re-scan, it gets the same name.  
I can manually edit the movies, but I don’t want to have to do that from now on, everything was naming properly.  
I did change the way my movies torrents are added to Deluge, I was using couchpotato, but I just upgreaded to radarr, but they both use the same indexer, so I don’t see how that could be the issue.  
Just wondering if anyone has any idea.

> Those years in parentheses are probably included in the embedded ‘Title’ tag in your mp4 files. Go to Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends...

Well that was easy, thanks so much!  
And, I did search first, but didn’t think to search on year as I was mostly paying attention to torrent name.  
Anyways, problem solved.
