Media Browser displays movies that aren't really there

In my Media Browser, when you click on "Movies" it lists movies that do not exist on my server. I can't figure out where these files are coming from and how to get rid of them. I have a screenshot attached with the fake movies highlighted. These movies are not anywhere on my server. Any ideas?

Re: Media Browser displays movies that aren't really there

My first suggestion is to play one of the "false" movies and see what actually plays. It has to be attached to one of the files. Once you know the real name of the movie, you can then look at how you've named your file and likely just need to rename the file along the standards. I have found that themoviedb.com can be quite touchy about the naming of the file. What works the best is just "the movie name", then the release year in parentheses. Make sure the year is accurate as well. I've discovered a couple of times that IMDB didn't have the same release year as themoviedb.com.
