merge_multiepisode.py causes Plex to show 2 dpulicate files for each merged episode. #387

Describe the bug

merge_multiepisodes.py - When running this script, for multiple episodes files, Plex now shows 2 identical files for each episode, causing a "2" to be displayed on each episode in some clients. I suspect that if there is a 3 part episode, it would then show 3 identical files for that episode instead.

Provide logs Plex server log PlexAPI log

Link to script with bug/issue https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/utility/merge_multiepisodes.py

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run merge_multiepisode.py
  2. Click on "get info" for an episode that was merged
  3. See 2 identical files under "Files"

Expected behavior Episode descriptions and information should be merge, but the file should not be listed twice.

This is expected behaviour. That's just how Plex works when you merge entries together. There's no way around it.
