You can manually edit the data, or remove the data entirely[1], or
press 'w' on each episode.


[1] move the files out of your video storage groups, rescan to delete
the data, move it back rescan.

OR mysql: delete from videometadata where filename like '%arrested%';
then rescan BUT do a select statement first to check you aren't
deleteing some other data too :)
