Server - Cap sensitive

[CharleyVarrick 283]

I noticed while trying to cleanup movies studios that Emby is cap sensitive.

For instance, if I have studios named mgm, Mgm, MGM (and so on), they will be listed as 3 different studios.

Is this expected behavior from Emby? My 5 cents is it shouldn't...

Are these your custom studios or just really old metadata?  I have never seen studios fetched differently like that.

[CharleyVarrick 283]

Nothing custom, quite the opposite I'm trying to achieve.

As far as old metadata, stuff like studios is not embedded in the mp4/mkv's AFAIK, it's been scrapped in the last couple of months.

Here's an example:

Spelling is identical if not for case

BTW, it is interesting to note that the exact same 6 movies are mentioned in both instances

Thought I might add this: if I navigate in windows to \\SRVR\jlr\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\metadata\Studio

Windows report 1595 elements (folders) in there.

 

If I go in Kodi/videos/studios, there it shows 9615 items

Unfortunately, Emby server does not display number of studios (as it does for number of movies for instance)

I suspect that Emby's number of movie studios is neither Windows's nor Kodi's, but somewhere in between

I believe this (relatively) low numbers represents studios for which Emby has art, as in studio logo

Another thing worth noting is that Kodi does not consider capital letters and list all variations as a single entry.

Just browsing in server/media/movies/studios a few pages, I found:

 

Alta Vista Productions

alta vista productions

 

ANCINE

ancine

 

arte

ARTE

 

Benderspink

BenderSpink

 

 

Bergman Lustig Productions

Bergman Lustig productions

 

CiBy 2000

Ciby 2000

 

DreamWorks Pictures

Dreamworks Pictures

 

Eclectic Pictures

Eclectic pictures

 

And so on.

Ironically, Studio Cleaner does not see those capitalization dupes.

I would be grateful if someone could look into this
