- Settings->Media->Library->Ignore different video versions on scan

IMHO this should have been enabled by default to keep kodi working as previously expected, and to prevent the breakage it caused with automation.
Or at least there needs to be an option added for the api (that defaults to on) to skip this option. so that way when you are doing remote library updates it does not show a user prompt that the user may not be around for.

This was the case for me, <removed> goes to add a movie (tell kodi to scan x folder for library update). It did the update like normal but the movie never got added.
A few days later I realize that I have not seen any new movies added in my library that I expect, when logging into my kodi-headless instance and loading up vnc I see the "Different movie version found" prompt waiting for me

I turned the "Ignore different video versions on scan" option on, and when scanning the movie to library from videos source folder  it still gives me the prompt about different movie version.
Restarted kodi, tried another movie and still got it.
I don't know if the option to disable the prompt is bugged or just does not apply during the videos>source>folder - scan to library context menu?
