When 2 libraries have duplicates show only one in continue watching.

[dewdrinker19 1]

Hello,

 

It would be cool that if Emby sees there are two items with the same ID in continue watching, it would show only the one with the highest quality so it doesn't look like there are "duplicates".

 

Thank you for taking the time to listen.

Items are tracked by providerids, not resolution, so as far as Emby is concerned that is 'same' item, hence duplication (or triplication or x-plication, depending on how many versions one has in their collection). 

You should use multi-versioning feature, which will result in single item in Continue Watching row and multi-version dropdown selector in item detail view, in either of three ways:

1) Put all different files in same folder and follow naming convention for multi-version movies

2) Multi-select and select "Group Versions" in three-dot menu 

3) Use community-made Auto-Grouping plugin which works across folders

 

Edit: Note that only method 3) works across multiple folders/libraries.

2) also works across multiple folders.

@LukeI get what you said in the forum post I  made, but having to pick the quality manually even, depending on the device is still better than having two or sometimes three things in continue watching.
