Incorrect Movie Titles - srd37 - 2024-09-28
I've been running Jellyfin for a while now without issue. All my media has been scraped and was showing correctly. However, I just pulled it up yesterday and noticed that various movie titles have been randomly changed to things such as "*** Encoded and..." and "title.year.1080p...". These titles were correct last time I checked and I haven't made any changes to any metadata settings. The strange thing is that it's just the titles that are a mess. All the other metadata is correct and all of the file names are formatted as "title.(year).mp4"
For sources, I have the standard TheMovieDB and The Open Movie Database. Is there something else that may have changed? Any idea what I should try to correct the titles? It would be a huge pain to have to manually do it.

I also just noticed that, within the metadata, the "original title" is correct, but the "title" is incorrect. I'm not sure how it's generating the "title". Is there a way to have Jellyfin display using the "original title" instead? I've searched but I can't find an option anywhere.

Did you check "Prefer embedded titles over filenames" in the library settings?

Yes, it was already selected. It appears that it was pulling the titles from pre-existing metadata within the actual file, so I guess that was the probloem. I've tried unselecting that box and running a new library scan and I believe that cleared everything up. Thanks for the quick help.
