Per the discussion here I have uploaded a new test version 1.0.6d to GitHub.  Please try running it as-is and you should get the same results as before with Goosebumps and similar..  Then try enabling the setting "Enhanced Duplicate Episode Analysis" under the Video DB tab and let me know if the Goosebumps and similar no longer report as duplicates.  You should also notice that the aired time value is now showing for all episodes, including those with duplicate file name matches.


Thanks,

Jeff

However, there were these new ones that appeared which look like they are files of combined TV series.

They should have been there previously.  To confirm disable the enhanced dupe detection and try again.  Look further down in the list.  They should be there.

It took me a bit of staring at the screen to see the issue.  It's that basically you have one episode in Kodi twice pointing to two different files.  There may be no logic that I can add which won't break something else.   Maybe @Karellen, the scraper expert, will have some ideas.   This is the challenge with many folks doing things differently.  I certainly could add an option to turn off this check altogether but that could cause missing other real duplicates.


Thanks,

Can your addon be submitted to the Kodi repo or are you manipulating the database directly?

(2024-06-26, 04:07)ManilaByNight Wrote: It's not a big issue for me since I can scroll down the list and make comparisons based on the path and filename. It's just that some of these episode files came this way when I downloaded them. I read documentation here in Kodi before explaining these types of tv episode files and it said that these are files having multiple episodes in them. I even have one (or two) file(s) that read S01E01E02E0304 telling me that it contains the first 4 episodes of Season 1 of a particular TV series.

Anyway, the good side is that there is now a utility/tool like this to be able to scan the entire database for possible dupes to generate a singular report makes life easier than having to manually go and search every individual season folder searching for duplicate episode files in them is a big help and makes life so much easier.

Kudos to you! Great job!

• Fixes 2 bugs which broke the Clean All function during the development of the dupe detection feature
  
• Adds a new Analyze All feature which  will analyze all tables in your video database and output either the GUI, a text file or both, depending upon the addon setting.  The default setting is GUI.

I appreciate anyone who is willing to test this new feature and provide feedback.

Thanks.  Just note that right now each full analysis will be written to a new file, not overwriting the same file.  The files tend to be small sub 100k in size.  If this becomes a problem I can add an option to save or overwrite.
