Leave titles as I have my filenames

Personally, I prefer having my movie titles displayed like:

"Sound of Music, The"

rather than:

"The Sound of Music"

It would be nice to have an OPTION to simply drop the File Extension on the list of files displayed on the renderer (rather than renaming them).

Re: Leave titles as I have my filenames

Re: Leave titles as I have my filenames

I've noticed that Serviio tends to rename files, especially if they are numbers only, or a title that is close to something else on line.

I would prefer to make this decision myself, as I have had problems with tv programs where the sole identifier is 101, 102 etc. Also, YouTube stuff is also renamed randomly.

It would also be helpful to be able to rename existing transcoded files, if this does occur, at least so I can figure out what the file was by title as opposed to playing it. The renaming is far from accurate, and sometimes out and out confusing.

As listed above, the folder view shows exactly how the file is named. Also, if you disable online metadata you won't get misidentified media. You can either create your own NFO files with the data listed as you want, or accept the way it looks without any metadata. I personally don't know what that would look like, as I use the online information and name my files as appropriate to retrieve the correct information.
