I am trying to use rename movie for the first time but cant get it to work. Under general tab, rename movie settings, clicked on movie during autoscrape.

My goal is for my movie file to go from movie.mkv to shrek (2002).mkv

Once scraped, and happy with the title, then r-click the movie and select 'Rename selected movie(s) in list' and then choose from
Movie and folder
Movie Only
Folder Only

These are the steps I was missing. So if I scrape the wrong movie, is the only option using the change movie tab to get the correct one?

Yes, or alter the filename or folder to improve results.
I assume you are using the folder name for scraping the movie title? (only as your earlier post mentioned movie.mkv and wanting to go to <movietitle> (year).mkv
And that you have the option Use Foldername for scraping enabled.

I find enabling the XBMC TMDB scraper returns higher success rate.

With MC's IMDb scraper, after 50 or so movies scraped in a row, MC starts to hit scrape errors due to Bot attack filtering on Google and IMDb. Then, MC almost always return one specific movie title no matter what the actual movie is.
