I'm getting a huge number of duplicates in my playlists since I upgraded from 11 to 12. I have an idea of what's causing it, but no idea how to solve it!
I have two mapped drives on my PC - Y and Z. The films/shows are on two shared volumes, each linked to by these. I've removed my file sources and cleaned up the library when I did so to make sure (I think) that it was empty. I then re-added the sources using the Y: and Z: paths which show up in the browser. The system then scans/updates (which takes an age, especially when TVDB is acting up).
All fine until I go into the Videos, TV or Film sections at which point I find a huge number of duplicates.
Upon checking the folder or file properties, I find that I have one copy at "Z:/share/location" and another at "SMB://servername/sharename/share/location..." in other words the network path that Z: is a shortcut to.
Any idea how I can completely flush out the list so that I have just the one copy loaded in?
Also, I'm getting "BMW Films" added in as a folder under TV Programs all the time and I can't seem to shift it. I've looked at the folder it reckons it's in and there's nothing I can see that could be confused for either "The Hire" or "BMW Films". I'm assuming this is a database cockup, but it's been an annoying niggle since v11!
Thanks for any help
