Trying to do a little cleaning of my Plex library, is there a search method of finding all plex items that have multiple files associated with it?

These are usually the ones that have been mis-auto matched, and I have to fix the file naming.

The ‘duplicates filter will show you these.’

If you want to find duplicate tv show epsiodes, you must first switch the view mode of your tv show library from ‘Shows’ to ‘Episodes’
