Server - VM with Ubuntu Server 24.04
Media files - NFS share on another VM, mounted to /mnt
Problem - duplicate music albums shown in music library if this artist already was in another library.
Ok, i have multiple music libraries (one for user, each user uses (and have access to) only his own library).
Lets say there is an artist "Artist A" in music library "Library A". And a bunch of another different artist.
Path to media files is /mnt/MusicA/
I create separate music library "Library B" with almost completely different artists BUT it also has "Artist A"
Path to media files is /mnt/MusicB/
There is only one path to media files in each library. And they are different.
Yes, there are two different folders with ArtistA's music. Albums and tracks obviously the same, id tags in files the same. Paths are different. No hardlinks, two different folders in different places but with same content.
If we open "Library B" we will see that all Artist A albums shown twice. If we open «media info» - paths to media files are different. One copy of an album has paths to /mnt/MusicA another copy of the album to /mnt/MusicB/
But there is no /mnt/MusicA in "Library B" config. Looks like a bug.
I tried to rename track files in /mnt/MusicB/ArtistA
So both libraries still have Artist A music but path to files and filenames are different
Then I delete "Library B" and create it again.
No difference. Still two copies of the same albums with different paths.
Is there a way to fix this behavior?
