Odd File names

After installing Serviio there are some files called 1980 Dawg: The Inside Story of the National Champion (27 files) and also Bellator (23 files). What are these? If we select them it picks movie files at random, very annoying. Can I get rid of these or are they part of the app? Thanks for any assistance

Serviio uses the file (and path) name to gather metadata about the file (including movie title). Have a read of http://www.serviio.org/component/conten ... extraction.

Once you have, have a look at the file path or file names to see if you could change them to better reflect the actual movie or series, in accordance with the file name schema. ps. if these are home movies or similar, for which metadata obviously won't exist in the public databases, you should turn off metadata collection for these shared folders (on the Library, Shared Folders tab in the console).
