In the mean time, I found out the reason. I have both a SD Movies (720 stereo) & HD Movies library (1080 5.1) so it is listing both of them … duh, I felt like a dumbass when I realized it.
what is worse is that if you play one of those files and stop… it will show the half played movies multiple times in each bitrate and you have to figure out which one was the version you were watching by guessing becuase plex doesnt give your the details untill you drill into them…
piss poor design all around and it has been brough up in multiple threads over a very long time… never corrected…
