Im using a smart playlist to sort all my anime episodes. I have both seasons of gundam 00 in separate folders And initially it listed both as separate series with 25 episodes each. Now both series are being listed at 50 episodes.

I'm using the anidb scraper .

I've tried to use Clean up video option in system menu but it doesn't fix this

Any thoughts?

Edit:

This is happening to every series of anime and only those. Not happening with reg TV smart playlist

Are the series titled differently, or are they both just "Gundam 00" (as an example)?

series are titled differently on the directories and each episode has the full episode name in it. when i look at the loaded directory in kodi, it shows the proper episode count. it only shows up in the smart playlist as being doubled and only on the anime smart playlist. i compared my other smart playlists for tv and movies and they are not doubled. and the settings are identical except for the path for each

gundam 00 season 1
gundam 00 season 2

I've now up to 4 of each episode being listed in the anime smart playlist for every series there. Still not happening to my other smart playlist

I've tried deleting playlist and rebooting and recreating playlist but same thing happens

I've posted photos of 3 selected animes to show the doubling or quad effect of the smart playlist and the the same when you look at the same shows when in file mode. This happens with only the anime and to each series

All those image links are dead. Please post details about your filesystem layout and the actual xsp xml.

I'm still new to kodi so what is xsp XML ? I'll get photos fixed in morning

All your smart playlists are stored as .xsp files in the userdata directory.

Here also man... all my EPISODE's shows up 4 times in the SERIES section of KODI.
In files, they are all good... very annoying and just don't know what to do about it Sad

Also MacOSX and files are stored on NAS
(there is a topic about it, but that solution did more harm then good, and in the end i just had no solution)

Sounds like a common OSX issue. Kodi is picking up the hidden ._ files. Please remove those and run "Clean Library..." from video settings.

People removing the "_dbase" files does more harm then good
because when trying to reach for your NAS in finder shows up nothing (no connection etc...)

What i did is left the online scrapers and did it with ViMediaManager
remove your library, add it again and let if scrape with LOCAL only.

Now all is working superb !

That's not correct. OS X able to handle those files being suddenly deleted. Further, OS X can be told to not create them in the first place. It should be mentioned in the Mac FAQ (wiki).

However, it shouldn't even be required to delete those files as long as "show hidden files" is turned off in Kodi's settings.

I found the solution for your problem bud (maybe you also bought a box from media24store)
The thing is you need to uninstall your version of KODI and start from scratch, that did the trick for me !
Because it is a massive bug in a pre-installed kodi
