Hey all, I’ve recently discovered I’ve got duplicates of a few Movies/TV Shows. I noticed the “2” that shows you have two versions of a title when watching a particular episode. I’m pretty piss poor about library management and tend to add pretty indiscriminately. Is there an easy tool for finding duplicates?

switch your tv show library into ‘Episodes’ view mode  
then activate the ‘Duplicates’ filter
