Any programs for scanning for duplicate folders?

I'm trying to clean up my movie folders a bit because when I use my roku channel I can see duplicate movies side by side from time to time. I used to have my movies on one drive, but since split them up between three and could have copied duplicate files in the process.

 

Is there a useful tool out there where I can specify to limit the search to folder name only? Because every folder has similar file names within it for backdrops and artwork. I don't want any of that coming up.

 

There's just too many to do this manually

 

Thanks in advance

I whipped up a script that parses the library.db and finds duplicates via IMDB id and other "issues" as possible bad match via fuzzy name matching.  Source is python and linked below.  If you need a win exe I'll need to rebuild a new one with my latest fixes.
