LiquidFX 135 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 When Im viewing Collections if shows all of my boxsets just fine, but when I view movies it shows 2 of everything in a boxset. Im sure I have something setup wrong. Here is my folder structure: \\HTPC\Boxsets is the location auto boxsets path \\HTPC\Movies is where all of my movies are stored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37018 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 that might not be an auto-boxset issue. show me some screenshots of your media library configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidFX 135 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 just the ones that the Auto Boxset plugin creates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37018 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 yea something is going on there because the system should handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Do you already have them sorted into boxset on your server, Folder wise? If so you will have to remove either the folders and let auto-boxset handle it or remove auto-boxset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have the sorted by boxset doing it manually but when the plugin came out I took them out of the folder I created and put them back into the general population of movies letting the plugin handle it.

LiquidFX 135 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I wonder if somehow the old copies are still being found...? Im not sure, I looked at the path of the 2 files and one is the actual movie folder while the other is the boxset folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidFX 135 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I tried that, when I pull up the link of the shortcut for the file it points to the UNC path but when I look at the metadata link it points to the local folder path.

LiquidFX 135 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) some of the metadata links go to the UNC path and only show up once as they should, other files show up as the local folder and show up twice. I have deleted the boxsets folder and rebuilt the folder, what else should I try? Dont know if this matters but the movies that are not causing a problem are new files and placed on a separate HD.

ebr 14904 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 You have mapped drives in one part of your library and UNC paths in another. That is going to create problems because we think they are two different items. Change everything to UNC paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Then I think re-building your library.db may be the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Are you sure you don't have a shortcut that point to it with a mapped drive? Either that or, the fact that you moved the item has screwed something up. You could try rebuilding your library db but let @@Luke look at this first in case he wants you to try anything else before doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Oh wait - it is also possible that, if you changed the reference from a mapped drive to a UNC path in between AutoBoxSets creating the box set, that might be screwing it up. Try deleting all the auto box sets and then re-creating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidFX 135 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I tried deleted the library.db and let it rebuild, still came up with the same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 You are positive you don't have any portion of any user's library pointing to that mapped drive...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidFX 135 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 yes, both users use the default media library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidFX 135 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ok, so I moved some of the trouble movies to another HD and it corrected the issue for those....ideas on how and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Because something was pointing to them. Look in the server log from the library scan after you moved them and see if you can see something saying it can't find the "Z:" items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
