You need to set up TheRenamer to use the correct format.  
no dot. but space hyphen space  
include the year in parentheses as I’ve shown above.

Are these mp4 files?  
If so, you may need to do this before trying further:

Go to Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheTVDB  
In there, grab the line ‘Local Media Assets’ with your mouse and drag it downwards, so it ends up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents.  
Repeat the same under  
Settings - Server - Agents - Shows - TheMovieDatabase  
+  
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - Plex Movie  
+  
Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase
