What do you mean by re-configuring?

What do you mean by re-configuring?

Adding, Removing, Etc to them. I deleted the previous collections I had, so I'm just rebuilding them.

How did you delete the collections?

Posted

Just through Emby, right click delete.

I have the same problem. Since the Emby 4 upgrade my collections show everything double. I removed the collections in library management (remove database) and after rebuild everything shows double again.

I assume you see double in Metadata Manager, are the paths for both the same?

 

Or edit metadata on both items.

I see single in metadata manager, but everything double in the web interface and in firetv

I have the same issue. When I removed the auto box set plug-in they return to single item.

That's strange. Thanks for the info.

Seeing the same issue here. Deleted all collections, then rebuild and after a scan, most, not all get duplicated in both the Collections and the Meta Data Manager. There are different dates for when added 1/5/2019 and 1/27/2019. All collections got locked also. Not sure what significance this makes. I've removed the collections in question, rescanned movie library, no new collection, however still have duplicate entry in the Meta Data Manager with nothing in the secondary collection. Can I delete that item from Meta Data Manager without deleting the collection or media? Any thoughts? Version 4.0.1.0 on Windows 10.

Have you guys ran a Scan All Libraries?

 

I saw this before on someone's computer I was teamviewed in helping.  After the Scan All Libraries the duplicates were removed?

Worth a shot if you haven't tried this.

After a full "Scan All Libraries", all items in collections duplicated. Should i remove them and the .xml files under the data directory as well?

Posted

What if you try deleting one, do both go away?

Posted

Yes, both are deleted. Then if I recreate the collection all is well.

Ok thanks for the info. Something odd must have happened during the upgrade from 3.5 to 4.0. We are looking into this, but you may need to manually fix up your current ones. thanks.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but figured it was more productive, in this case, than creating a new one. Just noticed I have a bunch of duplicate collections, as well. What is the recommended process for deduping? Do I just delete the duplicates, manually? Is there a way to merge them? If I delete the duplicates, do I need to add movies back to the collection again?

I encountered this today on the current Windows portable version.  It's a clean install and was not an upgrade to version 4.0.

 

The way I triggered it (I think) was to do a full library scan and replace of existing metadata.  After I did that all my collections were gone.  I started to manually add them back and then they were duplicated.  They were also duplicated in the metadata manager.  If I deleted one of them in the metadata manager, the other remained in the metadata manager, but it was not visible in the collections library view.

 

I deleted every collection and am going to start adding them all over again.

Thanks for the report, we are looking into this.

This is very time consuming to redo due to collections being duplicated.

 

If I have saved the boxset folders from the collections folder, cannot just copy them back and do something so they re-appear? Currently they do not re-appear when I copy all the folders back into collections.

Can you just delete the duplicates?

I can, but it then deletes all copies.

Have you read through this thread? I would just do what the solution here was.

What solution is this? To scan libraries? I click the button and nothing happens. I then click the dots under my collections folder and click scan library in there and it says refresh queued, but nothing happens.

 

I tried the replace metedata option and it changes the art on the main collections folders, but not on my duplicate folders.
