How to delete something that's duplicated nearly 1,000 times?

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?

Posted

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?

Posted

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

A collection, or an item within a collection?

Posted

A collection of 3 Superman movies.

Here's a screenshot.

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

Posted

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.

Posted

Doesn't the list screen show a count?

Posted

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

Posted

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.

Maybe this is related:

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.

Posted

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...)
