Rename the folder to Bloodshot (2020) [imdbid-tt1634106].

Hello, thank you for reply. I have around 500 movies, for 90%, identification is ok. I am willing to do this 10% manually, only I do not know why it is not working if I choose correct name. I really do not want to rename all movies. Searching for IMDB number and renaming in each one can be really time consuming.

For consistency, having the ID in the folder name is ideal. Especially for movies with really short names or names that could hit on multiple movies.
IMO, it is worth the extra work NOW to save yourself having to do this again if you were to lose all your Jellyfin data.
Preferably you use TMDB IDs over IMDB IDs. If you use an IMDB ID, Jellyfin does not actually go to IMDB. It relies on TMDB to translate the IMDB ID to a TMDB entry. Sometimes this IMDB ID to TMDB entry is incorrect.
