New Install...Library....Collections

[geaves 13]

Have completed a clean install from the the new instructions, added media, this is Ok scans the symlink folder and all works....but 5 movies displayed in the collections before I started even thinking about that option.

 

Decided to remove all 5 from the initial Nas folder, deleted the symlink for each film, then rescanned again, nothing in collections......good start.

 

Added 1 of the films back to the Nas location, symlink updated, then rescanned the library, only to find the move was back under collections.

 

The only anomaly I can see from MD Manager is 2 references to the movie the second being a branch from the first with the folder locations as follows:

 

1 /media/movies/<folder name of film>

2 /media/movies/<folder name of film/<folder name of film> 

 

I use Media Center Master to scan each movie to retrieve images and metadata for each movie.

 

Any pointers on what I need to edit? Thx in advance

what do you mean 2 references and branch?

[geaves 13]

Hopefully the attached image will explain.....

 

So the first reference (Path:), The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) points to  /media/movies/The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

 

The second (like a branch) points to /media/movies/The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)/The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).mp4

 

The first one doesn't point to the film, this happens to about 5 of the movies for some reason.

 

All the other movies have the Path as /media/movies/Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World (2003)/Master and Commander, The Far Side of the World (2003).mp4

 

I hope this makes some sense.

are there other videos in the folder?

No none......................... but your prompt has made me check the folders, the offending movies have a collections.xml within their folder.   Strange because this was a clean dataset other than an MCM scrape.

I would check the metadata file, it probably has some collections info in it.

then that is expected behavior because that turns it into a boxset
