I use Kodi on my home TVs for music but I also have music on our phones and USB sticks for the vehicles. Because of this I also use mediamonkey. I've been working on organizing my library so that it works good on all devices. I basically have folders that are playlist and the genre tag is used for the playlist name. Because of this I have a few songs that are duplicate other than the genre tag being different. When I scan my library into kodi it only scans 1 of the 2 songs into the database. So a song that should be on 2 playlist is only on 1.
Example of folder structures where a duplicate would exist
<Playlist>/<Artist>/<Album>/<Song>
Kids/Kidz Bop/Kidz Bop 30/Kidz Bop - Bad Blood.mp
Kids Favorites/Kidz Bop/Kidz Bop 30/Kidz Bop - Bad Blood.mp
There are 2 smart playlist, one search for genre "Kids" and the other searching for genre "Kids Favorites". Bad Blood will only appear on 1 of the 2 playlist and the database only shows 1 row for bad blood. I assume kodi has determined this song is a duplicate so it skips one of them during the scan.
What can I change to make kodi think the two are different songs vs. being a duplicate?
