Hi Glubbish,

I'm listing the exact content of the Metadata Plugboard for my PRS-505. It's not exactly what you want for Title name but perhaps you can try it out. Then if it works you can tweak it until it matches your preference. From a different thread, another forum member said it worked on their PRS-650.
Note: I used device_db:PRS505 not device_db:any device. (I don't know whether that's important.)

Code:

device_db:PRS505 = ([{title}{series:re(([^\s])[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)| [|}{series_index:| |]}] -> title), ([{series}{series_index:0>2s|| - }{title}] -> title_sort)

I don't have author_sort in the Plugboard, I have set it in
Preferences - Plugins - Device interface plugins - Sony Device - Customize plugin. Then check the box for 'Use author_sort for author'. I also don't know whether this is important.

Lastly, I have also set Preferences - Send to Device - Metadata management to Automatic management.

The nett result is that when I connect my PRS505 to Calibre the Series and Title info is updated automatically for any books already on the reader.
