There’s a filter under the ALL dropdown in movies to show movies that have duplicates, but there isn’t anything like that for TV shows. Why isn’t there a filter for duplicates for TV shows?

There is a filter, but it only shows duplicate episodes and not duplicate seasons or duplicate shows.  
Therefore it is only available if you switch the library view mode to ‘Episodes’.

That’s awesome thanks!! After you choose episodes you can go back to the ALL list and choose duplicates.

Now, I thought there was a way to see the file sizes of the associated files, but I can’t find that now. That would be very useful, but this is awesome, I can do some much needed cleanup of my files, thank you!

not size but resolution/bitrate

Thanks, but if you choose bitrate it only seems to show the bitrate of the first file with regard to duplicates. I did find where to see the file information though, it’s in Get Info in the 3 dots, either next to the episode in that list, or at the top right once you click into the episode. You can delete files from that view as well, which is nice.

If you scroll down in that Get Info view it will show you all of the file information of both files it found.

you can access the 3 dot menu and get info from posters too.
