Some movies show two entries one for each version, instead of just one entry

I have used the conversion function of emby to make streaming versions of all my movies.

After upgrading to 4.9.1.80 I'm seeing some movies displayed twice, one entry for each version. One of the files is the movie the second file is the conversion version of the movie.

I have tried removing Farscape: The Peacekeepers War folder and rescanning the library then putting the Folder back. That didn't work.
I then tried removing the folder rescanning and putting back only the main movie and rescanned. It showed up as one movie as expected. I added the converted movie to the folder and rescanned and again there were two entries. 

I  copied the name from the folder and pasted that on the names of both versions of the movie and rescanned. Again two entries for the movie.

I then deleted the converted version rescanned the folder, one entry. I  then converted the movie for streaming. Upon finishing the conversion there were two entries for the movie again.

There are probably a dozen movies that have this problem and a few that lost images (the image are fine after redownloading them).

The Fabulous Baron Munchausen shows 2 release dates. The metadata was showing 1961 in the Movie and 1962 in the converted version. Changing the release date back to 1961 did not recombine the movies into one entry.

Any assistance with fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi there, how are the automatic grouping options configured on the library?

In the movie library:

Enable multi-part items is on
Detect multi-mersion items based on both files and metadata

 

I was unaware of those settings.

Changing to files only and the problem goes away. So I'm guessing there is a problem with my metadata.

Thank you for pointing me to the problem.

Right, so either go back to files only, or enable both and then you'll have to do some metadata cleanup.
