On my Mac I prefer Phoenix Code editor, which is the next gen of Brackets editor. Really nice products and free!

It's not 100% correct...Because they can't find the exact ID..They just found the name......Proof here...
I think it needs fixing

Nice tool but not very useful. My library of over 11K movies does not have any duplicates. Yet it found 524 duplicates. Upon closer inspection I found that it flags different/unique movies with same names in the same year as duplicates. Here are some examples with name, year and IMDB unique identifier for reference. Instead of checking names and years the tool should ideally check for IMDB/TMDB unique identifiers to flag duplicate. BTW I use TinyMediaManager for maintaining my library. But I was curious about this tool.

I found this really useful.  After doing comparison of different rip qualities, I sometimes forget to remove them.  This has helped me find quite a few duplicates, and also a few that were the same with different names.  The end result can be quite a significant space savings.

As for some that had different names and remakes, I didn't find it difficult distinguishing between them.  Especially when I have the year listed on each folder. 
 

Thank you for sharing this!!!

Hi all,

FYI I made a fork of the original Duplicate Movie finder, with a better UI and improved duplicate detection.

Please give it a try and let me know your opinion about it.
snarkbe/emby-dupe-finder: This project is a simple web-based tool designed to help users identify duplicate movies in their Emby server libraries.

Where the heck is the link to use it?  Don't see it anywhere in the post.
