EMBY DUPLICATE FINDER FOR SYNOLOGY

[poppov 1]

[APP] Emby Duplicate Finder – Clean up your library with ease (DirectX 11), TESTED ONLY ON SYNOLOGY !

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share Emby Duplicate Finder, a lightweight utility designed for those who (like me) end up with unwanted duplicates—whether it's different resolutions, forgotten Director's Cuts, or accidental re-downloads—and want to tidy up their library quickly.

The app uses the official Emby API to scan your libraries and presents duplicates in a clean, modern interface.

Key Features

• Ultra-Smooth Interface: Built with Dear PyGui and rendered via DirectX 11 (hardware acceleration).

• Safety First (Read-Only): The script does not delete anything. It identifies duplicates and gives you the information, but you retain full control.

• Local-First: No data leaves your network. Everything stays between your PC and your Emby server.

• Smart Scanning: Compares filenames and metadata to group similar versions together.

• IMDB ID: Generation of duplicate groupings relative to the IMDB ID, and a similarity rate if the IMDB ID is different.

• Quick Action: Includes buttons to open the Windows folder of a specific file directly for manual verification or deletion.

• Auto-Save: Your settings (IP, API Key, paths) are automatically saved to a small config file so you don't have to re-enter them every time.

Prerequisites

• Emby API Key: Generate one in Dashboard > Advanced > API Keys.

• Windows: Required for the DirectX 11 rendering.

• Python 3.7+ (if running the script version).

How to use it?

• Launch the application. (python or binarie)

• In the Configuration tab, enter your server IP and API Key.

• Click Connect, then Scan.

• Use the filters (Resolution, HDR vs SDR, Codecs) to refine the results.

• Browse the list and manage your files directly through your file explorer.

Note: This project was born from a passionate collaboration between a user and AI. Feel free to share your feedback or suggest new features!

 

PS: Your suggestions for improvements are welcome, but there are two things I wouldn't change: 

-Read-only on Emby Server, 

-local connection only (NO INTERNET).

Best regards.

the html export doesn't work corretly, il must work on it.

I need to add language selection; the pop-up window is useful, but it's currently in French. I need to fix the HTML export. I need to add the duration next to the movie size.
