Chiefmas 40 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 I've had this happen to a couple of things. The match didn't come up, so I used the Identify function, which ended up creating another entry that is correctly matched. So, now I need to figure out how to remove the duplicate without it trying to delete the source files, but I'm not seeing a way to do that? Thanks!
Luke 42085 Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 HI, that's strange. have you run a library scan?
Chiefmas 40 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Posted March 8, 2020 HI, that's strange. have you run a library scan? I hadn't run one explicitly, previously, it's been this way for maybe a week, so the scheduled update has executed. I just told it to run a scan, and it doesn't seem to have done anything. Thanks!
Happy2Play 9784 Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) How old is this server installation? What OS and server version? What steps to reproduce? When you open each item they have different url id number correct? But sounds like a database issue. I would assume you would have to remove the series and re-add it. I would use "The 100 (2014)" for the series folder name. Edited March 8, 2020 by Happy2Play
Happy2Play 9784 Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 As a test I added "The 100" to Windows with Emby 4.3.1.0. It showed up unidentified, I identified it and the item refreshed with proper series and only one entry.

I would use "The 100 (2014)" for the series folder name. Emby itself is maybe a month old on here? It's Windows 10, 1909, running side by side with my...ahem...other media server app. As for reproduction, I haven't explicitly tried to reproduce it, but it's happened on a couple things. I was just trying to clean it up, not trying to see if I could make it happen again. Looking at each item, I'm now noticing it looks like it matched but from a different source maybe? The description is correct for the show, but is slightly different than the other. Yes, they show different IDs (I assume you mean the ID value in the URL string). Removing is what I'm trying to do, but without deleting the underlying files, because as far as I know, they are both pointing at the same file path, except one isn't an incomplete match. Is there some way I can see what the full file path on the server is for any given show/episode etc?

Ok, that's how you see that in Emby! So they are pulling from 2 different locations, both the locations are valid for now. Can I merge the entries?

Can I merge the entries? Do you have merge "Automatically merge series that are spread across multiple folders" enabled on the library (show Advanced settings)? I know by default it is enabled though.
