I have the same sort of setup, i.e. James Bond movies in a folder called 
"James Bond, and then named: "James Bond : 01 Dr No.avi" etc. However, I 
have a work-around for the file/title naming problem.

When I scan for Metadata, it renames the title with whatever tmdb finds, 
however, if I edit the entry by pressing "e", and delete the "Title" 
entry that tmdb has retreived, and save with a blank title, then exit 
"Watch Videos" and then go back in, the title reverts to the original 
filename.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature though.

This is on 0.24.1, but also worked on 0.21 (I skipped the intervening 
versions).

Cheers
