OK, this is cleared, The disk is a network drive, it was mounted in win 7 to drive x:\, while previous updates were done by its network address 192.168.1.etc.\shared. If one update is done scanning drive x:\, and another scan is done with its network address, then duplicates are created since location is ´changed´.
My mistake.

Yes, the movies on the drive were not moved nor were they renamed. I am using the latest XMM.
Even if they were renamed, or sitting in a different folder/drive, the IMDB number defines the movie, rather than the name, and same IMDB numbers should not be reloaded, or seen as a different movie.
Again, IMDB movie number comparisation should work fine if same script is used, or same scripts.
Any database should be prevented from loading duplicates.

Hi Gerard,
Do you mean that the Hard Disk Scanner add movies even if they are already on database? Have you moved these movies to another folder/drive?
I just want to understand why XMM is not able to *detect* that a movie is already inside database...

Again, for some reason, lots of movies are loaded now in the scan of the hard drive, and they are all duplicates. At least on this computer. Checking this, the movies are NOT duplicated on the hard drive.
Used the special filter »check for duplicates«
A database with duplicates is not good. I deleted all duplicates, but when I scan again, they are happy to be loaded again.
In order to prevent any duplicates at disk scanning time, it would be an idea to compare the `new` entry against the table «movies» field «weblink script» if the movie is already sitting in the database. If so, there could be a popup constructed »movie already loaded..Probably duplicate«
Even same name, but different, movies would load, and will not be considered duplicate if compared with weblink script.
But it would only work if updating takes place with the same chain of scripts.
rgds :Gerard.

Hi Josemi,

Let me know,
