Guest Normal Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) As the title sais. I have a movie called "Cars 2", which is the title. This movie I have in german and french, which are 2 files in 2 completely different libraries. Today I started the french version and the home screen now shows BOTH Cars 2 movies. This already happened to other movies too. AND another problem: sometimes when marking a movie as watched, another movie with the same name in a completely different library get's marked as watched too. These 2 issues are absolutely breaking the good user experience. Edited September 19, 2018 by Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36887 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 This is because they are the same movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normal Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) But technically it's more than incorrect to do that. I assume Emby just goes over the database, searches for all entries with the title of the movie which is running currently and marks them. Many many years ago I learned how to program and this in the early days we called "Poor code" or "Spagetti code". It's the same movie but not the same database entry. As said, technically totaly incorrect and not ok for a software for which I can donate money. Facts: - 2 movie files - in 2 completely different libraries - with 2 different languages set for the libraries Not the same movie at all.

Luke 36887 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I would suggest merging them using our multi-version feature: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie%20naming#multi-version-movies If you don't want to do that, then you can hack it by removing the imdb/moviedb id from one of them, and then they will no longer be the same.

Luke 36887 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Watch data is based on moviedb/imdb id's. It is by design, this is what our users want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
