I know I've reported this ages ago but it still happens to me. That is, some movies generate duplicate movie entries. I don't know how many times I've had to delete a duplicate 12 Angry Men and as while writing this I notice that I've got two 2 Days in Paris, one with movie ID 1048 and one with movie ID 1155.
This would perhaps not be so much of a problem since there nowadays is the function of movie duplicate identification. But the thing is that it used to be that when a duplicate movie like this all of a sudden turned up in the database you were almost certain that another movie had gone missing. Now when I have so many movies in the database it's almost impossible to detect if a movie is missing and which movie that might be. |

Even though this is an old thread and has supposedly been fixed, I seem to be having a related problem. I store movies on my hard drive and have recently put a group of new movies out. When I did "add ripped DVD's located on disk" it duplicated all my existing movies, giving them new catalog numbers.
I just went through and manually deleted all the duplicates (hundreds of them). Initially, it looked as if somehow some of the good entries had also been deleted. Then, amazingly, they were there again. I don't know if this is a human error, or if there was a real problem.
Since then, I have tried to "add ripped DVD's" again and sure enough, it looks like it wants to add all my existing entries again.
The check mark is on next to "Add only movies not in DB" So it SHOULD NOT be creating duplicates.
Please help!

Hi,
Sorry, another question: do you have added "Original DVD" or a "normal" movie?

I'm sorry that I haven't answered your question earlier.
The two 2 Days in Paris entries have the same catalog no. |

Hi Daggeg,
This was an old bug, but I solve it months ago.
Do you store your movies in DVD? If yes, can you check if the duplicates has the same CatalogN°?
I ask you this because I have store movies on DVD, every DVD has an unique CatalogN°, so when I have a duplicate is easy to control if the duplicate is really in 2 different DVD or is a duplicate with the same CatalogN° (so a duplicate generated by XMM)
I hope you understand my bad english.
