+If you want to display the file name as the title, then you simply need to use the %FILENAME% keyword.  For example:

+===== Adding an Index / Counter to your Titles =====
+Some of the devices in your home that you stream to may sort the list of files in a playlist or folder alphabetically and ignore the order of the files that Mezzmo server has delivered to the device.
+This can be very annoying since you may want to see your files listed in track order, or episode order, or recently added order, or most played order, etc.   Kodi/XBMC media player and certain models of Samsung TVs and BDP Blu-ray players have this sorting problem.
+To work around this problem, Mezzmo lets you add the %FILECOUNTER% keyword to your display titles.  This lets you add an index counter prefix to your titles to 'trick' the device's firmware sorting.
+For example, using %FILECOUNTER% a list of movies may look like:
+Inception
+Hunger Games
+Star Trek
+A Beautiful Mind
+  ...
+Catch Me If You Can
+See this example how to add %FILECOUNTER%:

+===== Setting Different Display Titles For Files In Playlists / Folders =====
+You can set different display titles for files in particular playlists and folders.  This allows you to override your display titles settings in the Options dialog (General page).
+Right-click on a playlist or folder and click **Properties** to display the playlist or folder's **Properties dialog**.
+{{:activeplaylistproperties.png?nolink|Active Playlist Properties dialog}}
+On the Properties dialog, click the **Display Titles** button to set display titles for files contained in the playlist or folder.
+**Tip:** Click the **Default Settings** button on the **Display Titles dialog** to revert back to the global display titles that you have set in the **Options dialog (General page)**.
+===== Changing the titles of your TV shows =====
+If you want to change the way the titles for your TV shows are displayed, then you can use the **%SERIES%**, **%SEASON%**, **%EPISODE%** and **%TITLE%** keywords in the **TV Series** edit box.
+For example, you may have a video file "Game Of Thrones S01E05.MKV", where the associated metadata is Title = The Wolf and the Lion, Series = Game Of Thrones, Season = 1, Episode = 5.  Using display title keywords, you can create titles like this:
+  * **%TITLE%** will create a title "The Wolf and the Lion"
+  * **E%EPISODE%: %TITLE%** will create a title "E005: The Wolf and the Lion"
+  * **S%SEASON% E%EPISODE%: %TITLE%** will create a title "S001 E005: The Wolf and the Lion"
+  * **%SERIES%: S%SEASON% E%EPISODE%: %TITLE%** will create a title "The Game Of Thrones: S001 E005: The Wolf and the Lion"
+Click the **Presets** button next to TV series edit box to see popular title styles.
