Identically Named Titles in themoviedb.org

I have a video file on my Serviio server which matches two titles in themoviedb.org. Serviio has selected the wrong metadata. Is there a way to indicate to Serviio which data to use?

Thanks,
Bob

Yes, easily done - use the IMDB ID in the file name - see http://wiki.serviio.org/doku.php?id=imb ... ata_naming
(alternatively, if the movies are different years, include the year in the file name - eg. "Avengers (2012).avi")

Thank you! I've added the year to the filename and the problem is solved.

It really does work best to include the year. But what DenyAll suggested also removes all doubt which title it should be.

If you haven't seen the Filebot file naming software, I suggest looking at it. Makes naming your files easy and consistent.
