Can Filebot get correct filename from somewhere else if the downloaded filename is wrong

For example， if the media file name should be "Avatar 2009" , but the file I downloaded is totally different like "Star Wars 2008“， can Filebot use some way to get the correct filename, e.g using -mediainfo, not sure if some parameters contain the orginal file info or description.

There might be. You can check:

If you're lucky, assuming that the file in question contains embedded metadata, with the media title property set, then this should work:

Do you mean to use command below:
Code: Select all
filebot -mediainfo . --format {mediaTitle}
Tried some files, it's not working, result returned as below:
Code: Select all
Expression yields empty value: Binding "General[0][Title, Movie]": undefined
It seems that media title property not set or not choose the right media parameter.

Probably out of luck then, if the file just doesn't contain the information we want.
You can double-check via the MediaInfo Inspector and see all properties:
