nasman 7 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi!Have been using and following emby for a number of years now. I think it would be great if there was a "Find Duplicate Media" function which would show possible duplicates and allow you to pick the one that you wish to keep and delete any other duplicate(s). This would be great when you are upgrading your library from DVD to Blueray's of your favorite films. Let me know what you think? Nas 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anderbytes 139 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Another "Management" filter inside "Reports" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasman 7 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Sort by name...? That doesn't really work if media lies across different folders, we need something that simply identifies duplicate media in the same way that iTunes does this for music across albums?

nasman 7 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Just to say - I used Reports to show duplicates by ordering by name... Very useful deleted a ton of duplicates, but would be good if there was a filter to make it easier! Thanks Anway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice pube 20 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 A filter would be ideal I would agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anderbytes 139 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Wow, I feel stupid. Thanks Instead, think that all feedback is valid. Even this one. Maybe the devs will understand the "Reports" button is not placed on an easily visible place... Who knows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guimello 1 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 +1 for the duplicate filter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psybertech 33 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) +1 for duplicate finder/handler Reports are great and all, but require a lot more work. Plex has this right and the only reason right now that I still have Plex running. I know... maybe odd and unique, but for me, it helps a lot as I upgrade my media. I try to stay on top and delete when I add, but sometimes I miss things. Plex's duplicates view and subsequent ability to remove the individual files rocks. With Plex, its just click my movies library, then duplicates, get info and delete the one I don't want. As opposed to... server manager... reports... then figure out the sorting/filtering... then scroll, look, find and then open file explorer for the OS, browse and then delete. Its just simpler with an ability to delete duplicates shown via the UI. Sorry for the Plex-compare.

Pelon 160 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 For me the issue with reports, is that the movies report takes a collection as a single entry. Maybe an option in the report like in TV, were we can display the series or the episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 as a work around - if you briefly turn off the collections option go to reports - run the movie report - you will see all movies - apart from the multi resolution movies which are still listed only once when finished go back and turn collections on again or enable > library>display>display collections view and the reports do not show collections for movies you can hide in user options if you dont want to see on your home screen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took 1 second to disable collections. I ran the report, downloaded it to excel, and re-enabled collections. Having this in excel allows to check if the movie is a real duplicate.

teddybear75 11 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Click the pop-out menu in top left corner. I cant see reports: Anyone know if it has relocated?

Carlo 4330 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I still use Plex for this myself and really like being able to filter a library by duplicates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
