Identification failures

[AlanBatie 5]

When Emby gets confused doing identification, it seems to default to The Armless Swordsman; it really should just list the directory/file name without an image so the user at least has some idea of what the media file actually is, rather than having to manually "edit" the metadata to see what it is. There are times when it tries to do this, but only shows the file name, which for a raw video rip, generally isn't very informative - it should include the parent directory as well.

Include the cases where it tries to do what I'm looking for

It sounds like the home videos content type is going to be more appropriate for you given that file naming.
