Currently running Kodi 19.3 on my ShieldTV,

I am starting to use Kodi again after not using it for years. My Files are appearing via their episode titles instead of the file names that they are saved as on my NAS. This is causing them to be totally out of order.
I went into the Kodi settings and turned off the "Replace file names with library titles" option, I've tried cleaning the library and restarting many times to no help.
I never had this issue with older versions of Kodi, any help will be appreciated.

Current Setup:
Kodi 19.3 on Shield TV
Files save on Sonolgy NAS
Universal Media Server on PC added as UPnP device in Kodi (confirmed "prettify filenames" turned off)

Its probably this? If you are using UPnP, Kodi has no control over the files. Is SMB an option for you?
Maybe @jbinkley60 might know

As @Karellen states this is being controlled by your UPnP server.  Unfortunately I am not familiar with this particular UPnP server.  With Mezzmo and the Mezzmo Kodi addon how the titles are displayed is controlled by the  Display Titles feature where you have many ways to customize how titles are displayed in Kodi.  I am not sure if your Universal Media Server has similar capabilities.


Thanks,
