I have a number of movies with the wrong title. I've edited them where known to put in the year of the films release and that seems to yield better results.

However if I press C while on a movie and show Movie Information, then press refresh, the title always shows:


for every single film in the entire library regardless of the information that it has already loaded. This is a buggy behaviour.

I have read the following post. Its suggestion was that a setting could be wrong.

Unfortunately it doesn't happen to mention what the setting does, where the setting is found, or indeed what the settings name is... I'm happy to hunt and play but I've come up trumps on this problem so far.

Try removing the source then, re-add it.
If your a first time user then this guide is very concise and well illustrated:

Let's presume your movies are arranged as follows:

C:\movies\Big Buck Bunny

Get out of the library. Navigate until you've got the "movies" part of c:\movies highlighted, then click 'c' on your keyboard, or whatever button you've got set on your remote to reach the context menu.

Then click "set content." If the menu that pops up has highlighted "this folder contains a single movie" then UN-highlight that. The Quick Start guide goes into more detail.

Yep, i can confirm that I do NOT have that option set.

I have something like E:\Movies as my movie source. This contains (mostly) movies in the root - not in sub folders. However there are movies that contain multiple parts in folders (e.g. E:\Movies\Kill Bill\CD1.avi and E:\Movies\Kill Bill\CD2.avi - as an example). This neccesitates the Scan Recursively.

Here's the movie folder settings.


So it doesn't seem to be that... I nosed through the pdf doco and compared it to what I have and I *think* it's all set up right.. I had a few issues getting the scans going but that side of it is all good again - just this re-scan for mis-found content
