gene0915 37 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 In my library of movies, I was scrolling through and noticed something weird. I saw two instances of 'The House With a Clock in its Walls': I went into the metadata manager and only saw one instance: After going back into the movie section, I clicked on each one to see if it was indeed a duplicate. What I quickly discovered was that the first copy was actually 'The House (2017)' staring Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler. Here is the folder: I manually fixed the mis-match so no big deal but was just wondering if this is a glitch that you just have to live with or is this a bug that can be corrected? I couldn't help but wonder what other movies might glitch like that. I started looking for movies with the same first few words and after spot checking a few, I don't see the same problem. Was this avoidable on my part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37253 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hmmm, that is strange. When were these movies added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Looks like a TMDB issue to me. If I search on the house (2017) the correct movie isn't even in the results list at the moment. If I strip off the year it's the second result even though that's a far better result than the first item in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37253 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 This actually looks like a server defect. That's why I'm wondering what version of the server those movies were added with, to try and gauge if that would still happen with a new install now.

CharleyVarrick 277 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Many years ago, I tried Plex, and issues like this were common. What's disturbing is people will find these mistakes mostly by chance, by spotting 2 identical movie posters. While Plex made a ton of mistake with my collection (and Emby is almost perfect), Plex would signal these issues with some kind of "this might require your attention" symbol. In fact, there was a feature that would conveniently list them all. Anytime the file name and library name differs, we should be made aware one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm wondering what version of the server those movies were added with, to try and gauge if that would still happen with a new install now. Sorry for the delayed response. I -THINK- I reinstalled Emby in October'ish some time. I'm fairly certain that Emby was already up and running before I added 'The House with a Clock in its Walls'. The other House movie was definitely already in place. When I installed Emby, I just pointed it at my movie folder and let it go. At that point in time, the Will Ferrell movie was already present. Clock in its Walls was added several weeks after Emby was freshly installed. EDIT: Luke, to answer your 'what version of the server' question.... no idea. I've been testing the betas as fast as they're released. Edited December 22, 2018 by gene0915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some logic built into Emby that if it sees two movies with the exact same name somewhere, it will flag it somehow to bring it to your attention.

Yes, 2 movie with same file name (ie: star wars.mkv vs star wars.mp4) and also the more common 2 movies with same library name (usually one of them with an unrelated file name). But the key feature would be a notification when file name and libray name differs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nice work Happy, is this available already, and will it be in plugins eventually? Happy holidays to all of you and yours.

Happy holidays to all of you and yours. This has been available for awhile from the same developer that made the Statistics plugin. Just hasn't had time to continue development. But as you can see still functional. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/56640-developing-a-standalone-embystat-server/ https://github.com/mregni/EmbyStat/releases Edited December 22, 2018 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
