How to delete something that's duplicated nearly 1,000 times? There's no shift click to select them all, so how do I do it?

If you're talking about a media file that truly has 1000 duplicates you'd be way better off deleting it in the OS and just have Emby rescan the library.  Then Emby will remove the "duplicates" that don't exist anymore.

If you're asking about something else then please explain further.

Hi, what exactly is duplicated?

It's a collection item that is duplicated over 1,000 times.

A collection, or an item within a collection?

Is another new one being created with each new library scan?

No idea.. there's so many at this point. Again there's like a 1,000 of them. I wouldn't know if a few more popped up or not.

Doesn't the list screen show a count?

I guess it does. Never paid attention to that. I don't think it's changed in some time. I have emby set up to scan every 15 mins too.

As its a collection then if you go to

programdata/data/collections

do you have multiple "Superman Collection" sub folders?

if so you can delete them - run a library scan - and they should disappear

Wont stop new ones being created - i assume you have the autobox set plugin loaded - which is likely to be adding these duplicates after every library scan - not sure why

Did that a long time ago. They're still on Emby even tho I deleted the sub folders.

So what else have you done/tried that you have not told us?

Have you tried removing the items that make up the Collection and doing a library scan?

Thank you, that worked. Is there an easy way to do it in the web app tho? This not being able to select multiple things really gets in the way a lot.

And it's back... deleting the movies removes the collection, but as soon as I put them back, I have over 2,000+ duplicated items again.

It must be something wrong with your metadata. That movies belong to The Death of Superman Collection instead of Superman Collection. I would:

- Edit movies metadata clearing all ids, movie and collection

- Identify movie again

- Remove collections

- Force refresh Box Sets

In fact, as far as I know, Superman Red Son does not belong to any collection

I had the same problem with Superman Red Son. First it was identified as The Death of Superman, then I ran "Identify" to fix match, all metadata was fixed, but collection id wasn't removed.

It's different movies this time. I did all those things too. The collection isn't even the right collection. It's 3 Blade movies... 2,500 Broken Blade Collections. I've had the issue in that other thread too in the past. I've had the actual collections duplicate in the past too where I end up with a dozen different collection folders.

Can you post the metadata of any of those Blade movies? The section external ids (themoviedbid, collectionid...)

<Overview>Rygart Arrow is the only one in his world who lacks the inherent ability to power up quartz, the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Nevertheless, he's pretty well connected. The King and Queen of his country of Krisna happen to be old college friends. But so is Zess, the guy who is leading the army of a neighboring kingdom in an attack on Krisna. How did it comes to this? There's little time to ponder the implications as an army in giant, mechanized battle suits attacks. Arrow just feels like he's in the way - until he comes across a powerful, ancient mech that no one has yet to be able to figure out how to run. But his natural affinity for the suit's operating mechanism may just turn Arrow into the most important player of all.</Overview>
