Duplicate Entries (network share and drive letter)

[VikingCrown]

I am having an issue, where i switched the location of my import directory for TV shows from a mapped drive letter to network share. now i have 2 entries for all my tv shows.

I had them imported as recordings as well.

Is there any way to clean this up? I did try removing all import directories and then re scanning then re-adding them but that doesn't help.

I'm guessing that in the default STV UI, you are also seeing duplicate entries? SageTV should automatically clean this up for you (eventually). BMT doesn't use its own database, and it relies on the mediafiles that sagetv returns in the sagetv apis.

Something you can try... is to remove the imports. Then tell sagetv to look for new/update media... you shoud now have nothing... then add the import folder back, and tell sagetv to look for new/updated media (it think it's called a library refresh). I do this quite a bit in development, and this is the process I use, to ensure that I don't get phantom entries.

Stuckless,
I checked and I actually don't have any of those paths as my import directories anymore. I believe I had tried the remove/re-add before with no luck. The entries are still there somehow even after library refresh. I didn't see library refresh, i did re-scan Imported Media, that's the right thing correct?

Try doing a full re-scan. It is slower but it is more comprehensive.

For the default STV go to Setup -> Detailed Setup -> Advanced -> Rescan Existing Library Files.

This has happened to me before and Sean's solution + shutting down the service and restarting it clears it up.

Unfortunately neither method has worked.

None of the paths are in my media import area, i have done both the rescan media library as well as the rescan existing library files (per will)

additionally I also restarted the service between each method and still I have 2 entries for each episode with the following value under location in BMT:

\\VALHALLA\TV Archiving\Flight of the Conchords\Season 1\Flight of the Conchords S01E01.mkv

X:\Flight of the Conchords\Season 1\Flight of the Conchords S01E01.mkv

I am going to try and remove the actual drive map of X (which corresponds to \VALHALLA\TV Archiving\) and then rescan

Any other thoughts?

Just an update, removing the drive map helped in that i no longer have duplicates. however I now only have a few random episodes pointing to the network share location. I am going to change the share name and re-scan then see if i have a clean slate

Final update, removing the drive map as well as renaming the network share then rescanning removed all entries.

I then added a new drive map and included that as my import directory and all is well.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
