I was curious on something. When you filter a movie library there is a “Duplicates” option which is super useful to find movies with more than one file for clean up.

Oddly a TV Show library type does not have this same simple filter feature. Why would that be and is it ever been thought to be added?

There is a Duplicates filter for TV Shows libraries; however, you must view by Episodes to use it. Doing so will show you duplicate episodes.

Well let’s chalk that up to an ID10T error…LOL
