File Grouping - Reetsoo - 2025-06-04

Hello! I downloaded a movie in 1080p and 4k, so I wanted to group them, so it's just 1 movie in the library. I did it before with series, and one other movie. But somehow this one still shows up 2 times. Numerous tries of refreshing, rescanning, moving in folder and out, renaming file, and group/ungroup. What am I doing wrong?

1. Do not mention where you got the Movie from...
2. Where are the files? In the same folder? Are they both named the same (and with a "-" seperator for different version? (for example: -> "filename/filename - 4k.mkv / filename - 1080p.mkv) ?

1. My bad 
2. I tried with files in the same folder named like Mickey 17, and the files are "Mickey 17 (2025) 1080p.mkv" and the same but with 4k in the end. I tried them in separate folders for each quality, and I tried the folder where every movie stored hoping they would group up itself.

Try the following please:

Foldername: "Mikey 17 (2025)"
Filenames: "Mikey 17 (2025) - 4k.mkv" / "Mikey 17 (2025) - 1080p.mkv"

You can also check "where" the files are from -> click the three dots and select the "mediainformation" -> check the filepath to see if maybe you got them doubled somewhere

The brakets on folder name helped! Thank you!
