Changing file but file path stays the same results in two copies of a movie
#1
Is there a way to enable xbmc to base files purely on their path rather than file information also? (presumably its a checksum of the file at the moment?)

If i have
Code:
/movies/Example/example.mkv
in 420p and then i replace it with
Code:
/movies/Example/example.mkv
but in 1080p for example, it shows two of the same Example movie, but one link no longer works.

I'm currently updating all of my movies to bluray rips and replacing the old files however it's duplicating all of my files when really to xbmc it shouldn't think anything is different (except maybe refresh file info so it knows quality etc)

Is this something configurable?

From my experience you have to use the clean library, shutdown xbmc, restart xbmc. The restart is to get a full library scan/update. If the duplicates remain repeat and that should do it.
