Year, Title not importing properly from MP3Tag for Personal Media

Server Version#: 3.95.2

I have a series of personal movies (from camcorder tapes) I have ripped to MP4 files and am using MP3Tag v2.95 to add the appropriate metadata before loading into Plex. Using information on several other threads, I have been able to piece together the mappings below. Except for the Title and Year tags, all of the information transfers properly to Plex (so I know that Plex is seeing the changes to the metadata being added by MP3Tag). But the Title and Year tags don’t transfer properly - Title keeps reverting to the filename, and Year to the year the file was added to the server. Since these are personal files, I can’t do a lookup from an on-line service, and I would prefer to add this information as metadata in the file directly so it is retained in case I need to rebuild the Plex database in the future.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

MP3Tag --> Plex Field --> Result

TITLE --> Title --> Not working properly - Plex shows file name instead
TITLESORT --> Sort Title --> OK
ARTIST --> Cast --> OK
YEAR --> Year --> Not working properly - Plex shows year added instead
GENRE --> Genre --> OK
PODCASTDESC --> Description --> OK
ALBUM --> Collection --> OK
COPYRIGHT --> Studio --> OK

Bumping

On normal ‘movies & tv show’ libraries, I know that plex will not use this field to make online matches. It would only make sense(IMHO) it doesn’t work for personal media aswell.
