CarlosLima 148 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hi, I haven't tested it yet on other higher versions of EmbyServer. I noticed in some series (about 4 or 5 only) that when adding episodes in .mp4, Emby is duplicating some of them. The images show the problem. This is just a series I used as an example. Note that episode #3 was tracked correctly, however, only that same episode was duplicated multiple times. When looking at the file folder there is no duplicate, so it is something I could not decipher the cause of the problem. Thanks for any tips. Thanks.

GrimReaper 3294 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 What is the actual filename of that episode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hi, thanks for your message. As shown in the image, I use this pattern for episodes. From this series, episodes 1 and 2 with the same pattern are not duplicated. I figured the long filename might cause some problem, but I'm not sure.

GrimReaper 3294 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 That's an odd one. Have you tried removing that show from your parent TV shows folder, scan library, re-add it and scan again? Does same occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 The action I took and seems to have resolved it was just right clicking on each duplicate episode [(1), (2), (3) etc] and Delete. Then I did new screenings and finally they were all gone. I still don't know if the problem will reoccur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 If it does, then please attach the server log from when it is imported. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Hi, I managed to eliminate the duplicates from the TV series above and so far the error has not been repeated, however, this new image shows that the error has now arisen with a movie. In the folder I have only one video file but tracking them, Emby duplicated the same movie nine times, so I did the deletions through the Emby interface and it seems to have resolved it. In this case I already had the original version of the film, which had not been duplicated. The duplicity occurred when adding the dubbed version, i.e. a new mp4 file.

Can you go over a specific example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with server log when you imported/added the items. I have to spin up a portable 4.7.5.0 to test. As it can be hard to troubleshoot older server versions. 4.7.8.0 Multi-versioned those two versions in /movies/The Good Nurse (2022)/ files. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosLima 148 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 Hi I've been using multiversions for years and never had this problem and my file structure is the same forever.
