Is anyone else having this problem? I did a rescan of my Lord of the Ring collection, and Fellowship of the Ring is stuck on 2015 for some reason. When I search for the title, it displays 2001 but when it syncs, it’s still set as 2015. Ideas? My naming standard: The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).mp4 ---

Probably the ‘2015’ is embedded into the mp4 file as internal metadata. 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 up being at the bottom of the stack of active agents. Repeat the same under Settings - Server - Agents - Movies - TheMovieDatabase Then Refresh the movie. ---

Since it is an mp4 there may be metadata embedded in the file. To fix that, and many other problems, you can edit the file and remove the metadata or you can, and this is much easier, go into settings and agents and move “local media assets” below “Plex movie” in both “Plex movie” and “The movie database”. I cannot guarantee that is the problem but my naming is identical to yours and I have zero problems with “The Lord of the Rings” movies. ---

That works. Unfortunately, it overrides all of my custom posters. I guess I’ll have to live with this minor discrepancy for now. ---

Unfortunately, it overrides all of my custom posters. I guess I’ll have to live with this minor discrepancy for now. Can’t you fix the metadata in the file? I’ve never messed with mp4 metadata, but if it’s anything like mp3 data, there should be a utility that can make edits for you. ---

> @kegobeer-plex said: > That works. Unfortunately, it overrides all of my custom posters. I guess I’ll have to live with this minor discrepancy for now. Yes, you should fix your embedded metadata if you want to rely on them. Try [mp3tag](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html "mp3tag") (yes, it works with mp4 files too.) Then you can revert change of agent ordering. ---

Worked perfectly. It still doesn’t make sense because I cleared all of the metadata on the file and nothing showed up in mp3tag. But I added the year in the metadata, refreshed and it populated correctly in Plex. If it works, it works. Thanks! ---

The default mode of mp3tag shows music-related tags (this can be changed). If you open the ‘extended’ tag view, you can see all tags. ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/plex/uploads/default/original/3X/c/2/c20a8802978fc667a9570170442b852112e1b2c8.png) ---
