Note it would be folder naming as filenaming is not used as all.

Star Wars (1977) {tmdbid=11}\asdflkjaldfj.mkv will get Star Wars.

Interesting. For Clash of the Titans I appended the folder name, triple checked I got it right, refreshed metadata/rescanned but that didn't work. Then reverted the folder name, appended the file name instead, refreshed metadata/rescanned and it now correctly identifies it. 

But just now I appended the imdb ID to both the file name and folder name of the 2 Star Wars movies I'm having issues with, triple checked I got them right, refreshed metadata/rescanned and that didn't work:

 

Any ideas how I can search "Star Wars" and have all 3 movies pop up?

 

Right now searching "Star Wars" only brings up the 4th episode. I have to search "The Empire Strikes Back" For the 5th movie to pop up, and search "Return of the Jedi" for the 6th to pop up:

 

I'd rather not change things with Emby's metadata manager as I'm sure when I upgrade my Mac Mini or need to reimport my library for some reason I'll forget lol.

For Star Wars you have to edit metadata as the proper name/title is Star Wars not Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (alias title).  Emby does not use IMDB in any way as the want lot of money to use their information. 

I already showed you what TMDB provides and TVDB should be the exact same. 

Now if you had OMDB as first provider you would get the naming you want as they somewhat mirror IMDB.  But will get very limit Cast per movie.

So your options are changing metadata provider order on library or manually editing title to whatever you like.  As for reimporting metadata that is only a issue if you do not save metadata with media (but per you image I will assume you don't).

Sorry lol, this is a bit above my pay grade. I can force Clash of the Titans no problem by giving the file name an IMDB ID, but not for star wars?

 

Alright, I think I'm all set. I appreciate the help.

They are two totally different issue as Clash of the Titans was same name movie issue misidentification,  Star Wars is just not named the way you want but identified properly.

You are limited to what Emby providers returns for the media.  So you have have to manually edit metadata title or change your provider order in library setup.  As OMDB is the only provider that has the media with the title you prefer.

Movie OMDB to the top but as mentioned with them first you will see limited cast per movie.  As Star Wars only has 3 actors, director and writer on that provider.

"Director":"George Lucas","Writer":"George Lucas","Actors":"Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher" vs 105 actors on TMDB.

It is best to use Tmdb id instead of Imdb id because Moviedb is Emby's default metadata fetcher:

I'm boycotting Tmdb.

But I'm all good. I appreciate the help. My home library is now perfect. I just manually renamed everything with Emby's metadata manager with the FAR SUPERIOR titles from IMDB:

Just edge cases as where there needs to be a little user intervention.  As they are technically custom names not their original titles.
