Video Track Name Displaying Instead of Filename

Just moved all of my media over onto a new NAS system (WD PR4100) and in the process noticed that about 90-ish movies, after being matched correctly, are currently displaying the name of the Video Track within the container as opposed to whatever Plex matched it as OR just the filename itself. Here are some images to help clarify:

Anyone have any tips on how to force these to use the matched names from The Movie DB? I’ve never seen this happen before it’s been difficult to search for since “video track name” or “video stream name” have the potential to appear in nearly every result for Plex. Thanks in advance!

Plex might be reading the garbage metadata in the MP4 file.

they are mp4 so it is likely using the embedded title metadata. Most ripping software sticks the file name in there.

In your agent settings for Plex Movie and The Movie Database move Local Media Assets below Plex Movie ( or the movieDB) so the online data take precedence over local

You can also remove the metadata.
Here are a few sites to help delete the metadata.

Changing the order of the agents did the trick! It looks l still have to go through and refresh the metadata on each one manually, but this is a good start! Thanks for the assist!
