Please describe your bug
Jellyfin fails to correctly match movies with one word names when there are other movies with that one word in the name and then more. I tried searching for existing bugs and the only my (poor) searching ability found was #7594 which was closed and also talks about IDs.
An example would be the movie Carter (2022). Jellyfin picks Coach Carter (2005) despite Carter (2022) being an exact match for the name. Even if you use the Identify option to correct it, and input the year, you get 3 other movies before the right one. So it's not just a file naming issue. This happens for me many many movies with one word names. The year seems to be ignored, and it doesn't favour the exact matches.

This also happens with TV Shows: A good example here is Evil, which was matched as Resident Evil.

I'll confirm this as well. "X-Men" will match to "x-men: apocalypse". I've had a few others as well.

Some examples of this happening for me (there are others but I can't remember all of them):
• "Frankenstein (2015)" misidentified as Victor Frankenstein (2015)
• "Monsters (2010)" misidentified as Monsters vs Aliens (2009)
• "Will (2011)" misidentified as Good Will Hunting (1997)
• "I Am Love (2009)" misidentified as a bonus feature of some kind relating to the actual film

Noticed this evening that it happened with Belle (2021) as well (it defaults to Belle (2013), which is also the first result for manual identification when supplying the movie name and year). I'm running 10.8.5.
Interestingly, taking a cue from the documentation and adding
[imdbid-tt13651628]to the folder name caused Jellyfin to correctly identify the film, but caused the two formats of the movie (Belle (2021) - 1080p.mkvandBelle (2021) - 2160p.mkv) to show up as separate entries in the movie list. I tried several variations on the filenames, and wasn't able to find a variation that caused them to be merged.So, as long as you don't store multiple cuts/formats/versions of films, that's a possible workaround until this issue gets addressed.
@cvium commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2022):
The documentation is pretty clear on grouping. The filenames must match the folder name
@logic commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2022):
As I mentioned, I tried several naming variations. One of them was:
/path/to/storage/Belle (2021) [imdbid-tt13651628]Belle (2021) [imdbid-tt13651628] - 2160p.mkvBelle (2021) [imdbid-tt13651628] - 1080p.mkvIdentification worked correctly, but grouping failed.
@G2G2G2G commented on GitHub (Nov 8, 2022):
"Alien 3 (1992).mkv" scans to
Aliens 1984as well, probably relatedIn testing this is irrelevant to how it scans. (Also irrelevant to this thread) Also if a person is organized, doing their structure like this disorganizes a lot of franchises and series with different naming scheme movies (e.g. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000)) etc.
It is a poor solution. Name and year are enough for 99.9% of movies. There are like 2 that I've seen in the past 20 years that actually need more to auto scan with ancient systems before all of these existed.
