curious dups problem.

[SwanStream 64]

So I'm on the current 4.8.0.44 beta, just came from the prior#43. For some time now, back several/many beta releases I've had a problem with auto-organize not oragnizing things I felt it should be able to find.... didn't think too much of it, and today I was trying to use the file icon to organize/teach it a few when I saw this in the list... many titles are duplicated.... not sure what to make of it or do about it. Any ideas? Edit: And no, the series are NOT duplicated on the TV Shows listing. There is only one directory for each show, and only one version of each episode...

But if I do remove the items (I've got so many it really means the whole library) and re-add it I'll loose all watched status won't I?

Is anyone looking at doing a fix or just the 'work around.'

And there doesn't seem to be an answer anyway...

We haven't had a chance to look at data cleanup because it's something that shouldn't happen anymore on newer server versions and is a defect caused by older versions. It is also largely harmless except for this.

Till it happens again next time something doesn't get caught in pre-beta testing...

I'd suggest that having a way of 'backing up watched status' and other non-recreatable data would be a powerful tool regardless of this issue. Allowing people like me that have been with Emby for going on 20+ years to clean up the flack from years of beta testing... or drop all that watched/etc in the nfo files so it can be scraped if the db gets scrambled.

Appreciate the honest answer even if it doesn't help.
