Hello all,
To be clear, my post is about people who actually have multiple copies of the same content, in different filenames or formats across their filesystem, not people who only have one copy of a file and it's listed multiple times (I've had that problem too)
I'm curious what the best way to find such files would be within XBMC?
Example :
Yes, you'll see the movie listed twice in the movie view but this means scrolling through your entire collection (alphabetically). If you've got a large collection, this is not ideal.
Presumably, the best way to identify the movies would be based on what they match to in the database, example both copies above would of course match to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/
I know this has been discussed a few times, is there a definitive solution to this yet? (I realise it's "the users fault" of course) - but it would be nice if there was an easy fix, a plugin or something.

Quote:S:\Movies\Ghostbusters (1984).mkv
and
H:\Movies\Ghostbusters.AVI
