Multiple Entries for the Same Movie - PreTranscoding

[dyecast 6]

I'm trying to find a way to pre-transcode portions of my video library to multiple bandwidths to my Synology isn't having to do it on the fly.

When I try to use the Conversions tool, I get multiple entries for the same movie at different bit rates, etc. in the Library view.

Thoughts?

Hi, the issue is that each version has to be named according to our multi-version naming requirements:

So if the original file doesn't already match that, then this can cause this to happen. It's something we need to look at improving with the conversion feature, but in the meantime it's an easy change you can make after conversions have completed.
