Please describe your bug

OOTB works perfectly if you choose to add movies into collection under manage library. This requires TMDB plugin (I believe).

Recently, I went to that plugin settings and saw it offered a box to "Strip Keyword from title". Effectively making "300 Collection" into "300". Love it! But...it added (mostly) all new collections and duplicated the assigned movies, on some it just duplicated all movies under a single collection. I thought I had messed up, so I deleted that library and rescanned all libraries.

Still same issue. For now, I unchecked that box and will wait to see if we can incorporate that option more cleanly.

Thanks all!

Reproduction Steps

  1. Check option under libraries to add movies to collections.
  2. Go to TMDB Box Sets plugin and check "Strip Keyword from title".
  3. Rescan libraries
  4. Also happens if you start from scratch ad have it build collections automatically with checkbox chosen.

Notably, this did not happen to me before 10.9.4, but suddenly started happening upon upgrade. Same basic setup: a movies library, "strip keyword from title" checkbox checked.

I'm not entirely clear when this happens yet, (lots of things going on) but a ghost collection gets created, which contains the same movies as the collection with the keyword stripped, is named with the keyword intact, and has no images. If I empty it and destroy the collection, it gets recreated at some later point.

And a followup observation:

If I completely disable the "TMDB Box Sets" plugin - the one that creates the keywordless sets -- "X Collection" sets keep popping up.

...One more followup observation: There's a checkbox in "Manage Library" which says "Automatically add to collection / When at least 2 movies have the same collection name, they will be automatically added to the collection." which I suspect is responsible for creating the keyworded collections with no images.

I've checked it off, and will get back to say if this helps or not, but it might well be duplicated functionality which probably shouldn't be in the core at all.

Yes, ticking the "Automatically add to collection" option off in "Manage Library" seems to have resolved the problem, the duplicate "X Collection" sets stopped popping up.

We definitely have a feature conflict here.

Also, when duplicate sets are not created - the single set still has duplicate videos. So if you have 2 movies with both HD & 4K in a single collection - you will show 4 movies in that collection. 2 being the exact same, but usually different box art.
