play record status will be incorrectly applied to multiple movies

[terse 1]

My emby service is installed in Ubuntu's docker, and now there is an error. The playback record and favorite status will be incorrectly applied to multiple movies.
1. For example, I played movie A for 5 minutes, and multiple movies will appear in the continued playback. Movies with different names will all show that they have been played for 5 minutes.
2. If I add a like button to movie A, there will be multiple movies with different names in my favorites, about 6 movies
Please help me solve this problem, what should I do?  or How to reset the Continue watching and all favorites content

That sounds like multiple movies are having/sharing same provider IDs (for reasons unknown); could you share some screenshots of Edit Metadata dialog>External IDs section for few of those movies?

Thank you for your reply, when I clicked edit metadata, I found that they do have the same moviedb ID, how can I solve this problem

Re-Identify movies with incorrect TMDBId or manually insert correct one.

Is there a way to delete all moviedb ids at once? In fact, I don’t need it. I use local nfo metadata.  I have a huge media library and manual deletion is difficult to achieve, thank you again for your help

Within Emby? Not that I know of, save editing the db directly.

If you don't need it, disable TMDB (and/or other meta-providers) and rebuild your library with local NFOs only (verify that those NFOs have correct provider IDs written else you'll face the same issue again, which is what I suspect occurred, incorrect external IDs in the NFOs; you can also batch-delete external ID/uniqueid tags from local NFOs before ingestion with some external tool, like Notepad++).

I solved the problem by disabling moviedb and rebuilding the media library using local nfo only.  Thank you for your help.  brother

HI, you shouldn't have to do that. Can you please provide a specific example? Thanks.
