But looking at those filenames is confusing for other uses, so "Example (2011) (tt1234567).avi" is a little easier then. You could also go for "Example (tt1234567) [2011].avi", or any other format you prefer.Just be aware that the default noise filter (under advanced settings), is only able to strip away a certain amount of additional text that does not belong to the title. So if you end up not getting any automatic approved matches, then you either have to adjust the regular expression based noise filter, or rename your files to adjust.During the search phase, the MovingPictures system will look for tt1234567 in the filename, and if enabled also look for an NFO file containing that tt-ID. It then also looks for a 4-digit number and uses that as the 'year', and after it then cleans up the filename via the noise filter, whatever is left is used as the 'title'. All that info is then sent to the scraper script, and any scraper script that can use the tt-ID will immediatly get the correct movie info. Otherwise it will try to locate the movie based on title+year, or just on title. There are many movies sharing the same title, but it can still get auto-approved then due to popularity. Of course that is no guarantee that the auto-approved match is the actual movie you are trying to import, and adding 'year' is not always enough information.So the best guarantee is to include tt-ID in the filename, or inside an NFO file with the same filename and then make sure the "Simple NFO system" checkbox is enabled in config. The NFO files can also be used by the XBMC compatible import system, but that's a different story.MovingPictures also has a rename system, so that you can rename your existing collection to have the tt-ID added to the filenames afterwards, but that is only a good idea if you are positive your collection does not contain any false-positives.As for scrapers, by default the imdb.com one is used, and if that one is unable to find anything it also shows results for TheMovieDb. But the default settings are to only auto-approve from the primary/first scraper, so if the imdb.com scraper can not find any results you have to manually approve the movie inside MovingPictures configuration screen. There is an enhancement request already to have that approval process be done via GUI, but for the time being you have to once in a while check config to make sure everything auto-approved (or check log file).Instead of relying on the automatic scraper order, you can also manually adjust the order and put another scraper first to act as primary scraper. The configuration dialog that allows you to do this, is also where you can add other scrapers, which brings us to the IMDb+ scraper. If you have any movie series such as James Bond, Star Wars, Matrix, etc, then you might prefer the IMDb+ scraper so that those series are nicely grouped together. If you have any foreign movies, then the default imdb.com scraper will add them with their original foreign title, but the IMDb+ scraper will get you the English title. The IMDb+ scraper also allows you to change this behaviour and adjust it to your likings. It also supports RottenTomatoes ratings and much more.All the info you need is at the forum thread: <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/moving-pictures-284/imdb-scraper-fix-english-rename-group-rottentomatoes-more-v3-2-5-a-98978/" target="_blank">https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/moving-pictures-284/imdb-scraper-fix-english-rename-group-rottentomatoes-more-v3-2-5-a-98978/</a><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
