darkside40 107 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Simple question: why is a complete rescan necessary after the Update from latest 4.8.11 to 4.9.3? Now my Library looks like this, the protocol is full of Network errors, and rescanning will take ages. Is there a way to aviad this?
darkside40 107 Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Okay my Movie Folder got scanned. On 4.8 i had 6043 Element, now i have 6000. Where did the 43 vanished?
darkside40 107 Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Whats strange is: when ic go into the Folder View Emby sees the correct number of elements, but if i go into the Movie view there are 43 less.
darkside40 107 Posted January 17 Author Posted January 17 Okay seems that Emby just recognized files as duplicates for what reason whatever. In most of the cases i dont see any sense in that. I hope that i fixed that now.
darkside40 107 Posted January 18 Author Posted January 18 @Lukehow does Emby qualify things as duplicate? In my case that seemed to be extremely buggy so it would be good to know the mechanics behind that.

darkside40 107 Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 Sorry but this cant be. I had 11 duplicates in one Movie. All of this duplicates had their own folder in which they were in and they were proper identified. What i have seen was that the files all hat the same filestamp when they were added, but thats it. So how does this automatic works in detail?
Luke 42077 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Are you asking about the filter or are you now asking about the automatic grouping feature?

darkside40 107 Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 No because i resolved all the problema manually. Thats why i ask you to tell me how this grouping feature works. I mean you can have a glimpse int the sourcecode. Does it use timestamp of files, any hashed etc? There must be some mechanic behind it and it must be more complex than: group all video files in one folder. In my case all the Video Files were in seperate folders.

Well it depends on which grouping options are enabled. There's grouping based on file naming conventions, and then there's grouping based on external ids (tmdb, tvdb, etc). And both can be enabled at once.
