Totality: For those obsessed with perfect libraries

I just noticed this same issue on mine after updating to x.19. Was with Clerks and noticed there was another file version that was corrupt that was probably the file getting reported with I tested w/ x.17 release. I deleted it then rescanned Plex, rescanned Totality and it was still there.

Then I installed Totality on my NAS server because I’ve been testing it on my laptop. Ran a scan and that movie that was being reported was no longer in the quality list.

Suggests there might be artifacts in the DB that aren’t being dealt with correctly when initially making it into the quality list.

From Laptop, originally scanned w/ x.17, upgraded to .x19

From NAS, fresh install latest version

Additional testing and details on Github

github.com/bbidwell85/Totality

Upgrade status incorrect, no refreshed when new source file added/ replaced.

I dumped the Totality DB with a test move, with the original low quality file, refreshing after adding a high quality file and the above bug expressing, then resetting the Totality DB and repopulating from plex. Below is the JSON from the dumps in each stage.
