samuelqwe 313 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 You need to name your movies according to the Emby naming conventions linked below: Emby Movie Naming From the folder structure you’ve shown though, all you would need is to add a dash in the filename of the movies, after the year. Example: Deadpool 2016 - 720p x264.mkv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I would name your files like the naming convention so your year is in () so it's taken as the year vs part of the movie name. That should fix what looks like and identification issue in the above pic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/ . However, it doesn't recurse through multiple directories; you'd probably need to use a command line command with regular expressions for that. But as your file names are missing punctuation it would, I think be hard to write a regular expression that would work well over all your files. I hear good things about https://www.filebot.net/ which is often recommended, but I've not tried it myself. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlerate 7 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I am following the naming convention guide for multiple versions of video in same file and still noticing that they display as duplicates movies within Emby. Interesting is that the same naming convention for TV shows displays as intended where there shows a dropdown to be able to select versions.

That was it! Thank you. Even see an icon now that apparently indicates more than one file is in there. I use the Emby auto organize plugin that adds the dot in the file names, didnt realize this was the issue. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
