Duplicate posters on network shares

[Ish]

In a previous post I mentioned that for me to deploy MS devices throughout my home they need to make the user interface that we see in the "Movies" section used for all sources.

For that matter it might be cleaner if all sources could simply be "merged", from the end users point of view, so no switching of sources was required.

My current setup uses Dune players and the media manager application I wrote could do just that. It can scan multiple sources and build a single "index" (what the end user sees) for all of the movies/shows found.

But those players are not 4K and the current 4K version is not very good. The MS has potential to be a great player.

Perhaps others would like to see this sort of user interface change as well.

MS Manager only seems to be showing the Movies installed on the internal HDD of the MS

I am seeing the same issue with an external hard drive connected by USB. MS Manager is displaying correctly.

I was having the duplicate problem but after the most recent updates to both MS and DF the duplicates are now a generic icon.

Strange.

Hi Hunter --

Have you tried using MS Manager? And if so, see if you get this duplication there, too! ...

tbrown25, I'm having the same issue. 2 entries for every movie. Mine are AVI's. I've connected to shared folders on my win10 PC. Every folder connection I create does the same thing.
When I set up the MS to show these folders as files it only shows 1 but as soon as I set it up to show as a wall there are 2 for each.
Prior to this update the posters were listed (Z-A) then (A-Z). Now they are listed (A-Z) then (A-Z)

I ahve a NAS set up with several movies (ISO's) on it. When I attach this to the MS, I get 2 poster entries for each movie. The MS manager shows only 1 poster, but the device itself shows 2.
Is this a known issue or is there something I am doing wrong here?
