Description of the bug

i can't say exactly when the bug started. possibly with the update to 10.10.7.
there are older films that have been in the library for a while that have been successfully merged. but new films that are added now are no longer merged.
they exist as 2 or more independent films in the library.
the path and filenames are correct for perfect merging.

Reproduction steps

open jellyfin
navigate to “merge movies”
merge movies was completed in under a minute

What is the current bug behavior?

if you want to merge films, jellyfin says that there are no films to merge and ends the merge successfully, even though there are still films that need to be merged.

What is the expected correct behavior?

you click the merge button, jellyfin finds all the films that are available multiple times and merges them with the different versions.

i found the error myself.
i still had the merge movie plugin installed, which was causing problems.
after uninstalling and restarting the server, everything now works as it should.
