Mezzmo determines the name of the movie or TV series based on your filenames and external metadata files (.xml, .nfo, ,tgmd). Once it gets the name, then it will download matching text metadata and artwork for the movie/TV show from movie and TV show web sites. For filenames, Mezzmo understands the following naming styles:
C:\folder\Movie Title.avi
C:\folder\Movie Title YYYY.avi
C:\folder\Movie Title (YYYY).avi
C:\folder\Title s01e01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title 1x01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\Title 1x01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1 Episode 1 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title\Season 1\01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title\Season 1\s01e01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title\Season 1\1x01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title\Season 1\Title s01e01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title\Season 1\Title 1x01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title\Season 1\Episode 1 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title\Season 1\Season 1 Episode 1 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\s01e01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\1x01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\Title s01e01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\Title 1x01 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\Episode 1 Subtitle.avi
C:\folder\Title Season 1\Season 1 Episode 1 Subtitle.avi
If Mezzmo is not parsing your filename correctly, then post the full path to one of the files that is not being processed correctly and we can advise what's going wrong.
Regarding maintenance, Mezzmo will only overwrite your existing metadata and artwork if you have the "Update all attributes" radio button selected in the Maintain Library dialog. To just update new files or existing files with missing metadata, then select the "Only update new files or files with empty attributes" radio button. You can test this by right-clicking on a file and clicking 'Maintain Files'. This lets you maintain just one file and quickly see the results - so you can test the settings you have set in the Maintain dialog.
