I am using the show duplicates feature in Plex quite often, it is pretty much the only thing that keeps me from switching to Jellyfin permanently. Is there a way to substitute it? Maybe an Addon?

What does it do? (Not familiar with plex)

It shows if a movie/show exists multiple times. It's straightforward, reliable and I use it to avoid, well, duplicates.

Most people use tools like sonarr and radarr to manage their media, rather than jellyfin itself. Jellyfin is the fancy frontend. Google jellyseer as well to tie it all together.

There’s the merge versions plugin. Works pretty well if you have different video qualities and what not.

That could be a great solution, thank you very much for the hint!

I’ve never used it, and it’s not been updated for a while. But maybe worth a shot.

And a tweak for Movies:

I don't think there's an equivalent function. You might be able to export a list of titles and check it for duplicates.

Or, if they're duplicate copies of the same file, use a tool like fdupes.
