Movies with same name
Sun May 15, 2022 8:30 pm
I have the movie -> Escape Room (2017) -> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5748392
In the option "Scan your video files", after finish scanning it recognized the above movie as
Escape Room (2017) ->https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5159414
Both movies are with the same name and released in the same year. So in such case in the Scan your video files result window, there is no option to mention and link with the correct movie. Can that be improved?
Right now what I had to do is, search for the movie in the database then clicking on add owned file and there I had to set the path manually.

In the rare cases where that happens, you can't solve it from the scanning window, you have to manually associate from the app.

You were very near. The right solution was to click the play icon and it'll allow you to associate a file with the movie.

Appending the IMDb Id was an even better solution

Yeah thats what I figured that I had to add manually. Because its once in a blue moon that two movies will be having the same name with the same year of release 
By the way, just now I was wondering that what others movies are there with the same issue? Having the same name with the same year of release. Just curious to know.
Can you find it out if you have time?
If not, no worries. I am just curious to know that if its the only one set of movie having the same title and year or others are there.

There are many, the IMDb appends roman numbers, but in general there are short movies that are not even listed by Coollector.
Also most of the time the scanning feature works great because it picks the most popular movie and that's the one you want
