press i then select "change video details" > "reset details"
then
press i then select "change video details" > "retrieve details"
it should present you with a list of matching titles, select the correct
one.

If you need to manually specify the TMDB number (if the search fails for
some reason):
press i then select "change video details" > "reset details"
then
press i then select "change video details" > "edit details"
enter the correct TMDB number and save
press i then select "change video details" > "retrieve details"

I have had FAR better success with the autoscan if I change the filenames
to include the year (name.of.the.movie.2011.mkv)
