Detecting duplicate movies (1 Viewer)

I remember seeing somewhere "Duplicat Movie ID:xxxxxx", but i don't know where it came from or how.

Is there a way to detect duplicate movies inside moving pictures, media portal or using an external program?

There is nothing inside Moving Pictures besides maybe visually scanning for duplicates when sorted by title. Sorry. If you are comfortable with SQL you could query the Moving Pictures database for duplicate IMDb IDs easy enough.

As fforde suggested you can use SQL queries for this. I had written a post before on how to do that. Just take your time reading it and you should be able to do it:

To be on the extra safe side doing the instructions in that post, you should make a backup of your movingpictures.db3 database and then use that 'copy' for any SQLite tool. That way you avoid any risk of database corruption if you also plan to have MovingPictures running at the same time.

Thanks! Worked perfectly. I tried editing the DB while having it open in the explorer, but i guess that was out of the question

Almost always when i remove a duplicate movie, the movie that stays looses its cover art. I have to cycle the cover art to display it once again. Any fix for this?
