Use of filename insted of the scaned name?

Hi,
I have been going through a lot of forums and did not find kind of a solution to my “issue”.
Is there a functionality to have the name of the file as the title, but still use the agents normally?
For example:
I have the movie Crank and use the TheMovieDB agent to get all the metadata which works fine.
I then but want to be using the filename, which is “Crank - DE”, as the title name, so that when a user goes through the library, they directly see in what language the movie is.
I tried locking the title after changing it but it never stays. Plex keeps chagning it to either “Crank” or “Crank de”.

How can I solve this? Is there a functionality I might not know about?

Thanks for you help.

There is no functionality to support this - do you store multiple version in different langauges?

I always only have one version so for example crank would only be in german and there would be no other version.
I think the main issue that I am having is the lock not being enforced and plex renaming the titles over and over again.
Does it make a different to have different languages in one library?

Nah, you can have multiple languages in one library, when you load the movie into it will tel you the langauge anyway :slight_smile:

ok, that’s good to now, thank you :slight_smile:
do you happen to know if there might be a plugin for the “File name functionality”?
