I am having a problem with duplicates in my video library. It started when I used the Library Auto Update addon from the Kodi repository. It happens on SMB shares. Some of the DB entries, as an example, use a path smb://192.168.0.10 and some use smb://102.168.0.10:445. I think this came about from carrying over the DB to fresh installs. The addon seems to have ignored the path with the port and made a 'duplicate' using the non-port path. That is, one entry using the path with the port one without the port. I think the first step is to make sure my video sources are corrected (without port?). I am not blaming the addon. I am not even sure it caused the problem. It's just that it's the only thing I can connect to the timing of the problem.

What would be the best approach to fixing this problem without recreating the library? I am capable of writing my own DB scrub as long as I know what tables and columns would be affected besides strPATH in table path. Any ideas?

If I have to recreate the DB, is there a way to carry over the episode-watched setting?

I am using Kodi 20.3 on android and X64 and MariaDB 10.3 on a Synology box (Not in docker).

I don't think you can, but if you have exported as separate files re-scanning should not be a big effort. Suggest you peruse some of the hardware forums like windows support, I see plenty of MariaDB posts, or switch over to the specific add-on support for a focused response.

The path is also in the movie table. files is related to the path table. That's from a quick look at the db.

Ok then you can inner join path (P) and files (F) tables using idPath to get a list of file ids (idFile) you want to delete. Then the tables you need to delete rows from using idFile are:

1. files
   
2. bookmark
   
3. settings
   
4. stacktimes
   
5. streamdetails
   
6. movie or episode or musicvideo. This really depends on what the file was. 
   

Hope that helps and good luck.
