View Full Version : Duplicates in Library

I've recently upgraded my system with a totally fresh install of 9.04 as I was running a pretty old version of XBMC, so it seemed like a great time to upgrade to a new video card and get VDPAU support (which runs just awesome!)

Now after I rescanned all my media into the Library, I noticed quite a few duplicates.. Seems like all the videos that have several files that make up the movie are being treated as separate videos :( I do have "treat stacked files as a single file" checked in the video options and I never had this issue with my old setup..

Am I missing something here? I just did a apt-get update and apt-get upgrade before posting, so I should be fairly currrent..

Any insight would be appreciated..

Sometimes it's just easier to rename these files something like so.

scenegroup-moviename-a-xvid.avi >> scenegroup-moviename-cd1-xvid.avi
scenegroup-moviename-b-xvid.avi >> scenegroup-moviename-cd2-xvid.avi

moviename1-scenegroup.avi >> moviename-cd1-scenegroup.avi
moviename2-scenegroup.avi >> moviename-cd2-scenegroup.avi
moviename3-scenegroup.avi >> moviename-cd3-scenegroup.avi

I had a few stragglers of such a nature and after renaming them just a clean library and a rescan cleared up the clutter for me.
*shrugs* Just an idea, best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this used to work just fine with my media and the older xbmc version... oh well

Without a log we can't help you at all. You probably need to rebuild your db as some path has changed.

Not sure how a log would help, as there is no error.. This was after loading in the media into a clean fresh database, so nothing changed. It's just not stacking the files properly..
I'm just in the middle or reorganizing some of the media, so after thats done, I will start with a clean db and will add the media again. If it still shows duplicates, I will post the log.

The stacking rules have probably changed since your old version was published.
For example sequels could be stacked.

My bet is you are not conforming to the new stacking rules (http://www.xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Stacking).
