Duplicate checker on rescan for videos gives spurious results
Posted: 07 Aug 2022, 12:20
Hi, I've found that when checking for duplicates, the results aren't very accurate. Please can you clarify what criteria are used to identify a duplicate? I've noticed that potential duplicates are indicated when movie durations are the same, but when I play the movie I see that the contents are totally different. For example, I have CD1 and CD2 of a movie and both run for 43'50" and the program calls these out as duplicates. Can thumbnail pictures from the same time points not be used to better identify duplicates? In any case, it would be useful to show further details about duplicates such as run length and size, and provide the ability to click on each potential duplicate pair to play then in turn and check if they are the same. Right now I have to use explorer to locate each file and play them both to verify if they are in fact the same, which takes a long time with over 500 potential duplicates in a database of 150,000 entries. Thanks.
