So one of my media libraries that holds movies and TV shows has recently reidientified everything incorrectly. It all shows up as some Asian show called Love Exposure.

How do i quickly get all the metadata sorted?

Just restore from your backup. You do have a backup, right? Right?

Seriously though, you should have a separate library for movies and another for shows. I don't know if that will solve your problem, but it's where I would start. And you should have backups too.

How does restore from backup help? I assume a rescan was because new media was added. If you restore from backup, the new media is still there, a rescan happens, and the files again get relabeled wrong.
