Bug Description
I had some duplicates that had appeared and when I googled around looking for a way to delete duplicates and I ran accross the option to "Clean Video Library" So I thought perfect and when I did that it did in fact delete all duplicates however all the tv I watched and marked as watched decided to become unwatched.... It is a bit of a hassle to the users of XBMC. It would be much appreciated if you could tell me how to delete duplicates without changing watch status. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the "Clean Video Library" option in XBMC. It’s clear that this feature effectively removed duplicates from your library, which is a significant benefit for maintaining a well-organized media collection. However, I understand that encountering the issue of having your watch status reset can be quite frustrating. This unexpected outcome undermines the value of the feature by affecting your carefully tracked viewing history, which can be particularly disheartening for users who rely on this data to manage their media consumption.
Your feedback highlights a critical aspect of the user experience with XBMC’s library management tools. The challenge of balancing efficient duplicate removal with the preservation of important metadata, such as watch status, is a crucial consideration. It’s important for users to have tools that can address specific needs without causing unintended disruptions. Your experience underscores the need for more refined solutions that can handle duplicates while ensuring that watch history and other metadata remain intact.
Exploring alternative methods or third-party tools for managing duplicates might offer a way to address this issue more effectively. Additionally, sharing your feedback with the XBMC community could be beneficial, as it may lead to improvements or updates to the software that better accommodate users’ needs. In the meantime, if you have any further questions or need assistance with finding a solution, please feel free to ask. Your input is valuable, and I hope a more satisfactory resolution can be found to enhance your experience with XBMC.
