Media in multi files show as Duplicate

[vincen 84]

Hi

Medias that are composed of multiple files show up as duplicate in Emby list. Here is a movie that is composed of 4 files:

If I go back in movies list and select the Duplicate folder, Belphégor is listed but it should not. It looks like it lists a media as duplicate as soon as there is more than one file linked with a media page.

In similar idea, it would be nice that when you have multiple versions of a same movie on purpose like Despecialised version etc to have a flag in the media page to indicate it's not a duplicate.

Thanks

Looks like a naming convention issue to me so that they show as Additional Parts instead of multiple versions.

Hi there, how are your files named and organized?

Thanks for the link but I'm aware of file naming. Is there a specific point I would have missed ? but so far the naming like that works perfect for indexing.

Well they are named as visible on the screenshot in my first post. For organisation all movies are in one folder including the ones in multipart as the one in my first post

For file stacking, "part" part needs to be at the end of the filename, i.e. <moviefilename>-partX.ext.

Sorry but you are wrong, it works perfect even if it's in the middle of the filename  The issue here was the audio format different that prevented the proper grouping so all good so far, sorry for the noise

If something works today there's no guarantee that it'll work tomorrow when you're going against recommended naming convention, hole can be plugged on any subsequent update. But if it makes you happy and works for you - why would I complain, glad you got it sorted out.

Yeah going to modify the Filebot rule so it handles properly these partxx things just in case
