Length Duplicate

Post by aflawt »

Hi, I have 2 videos with the same length (same videos with different resolution) but "Find Length Duplicates" doesn't find them. Why?

Length, by default, takes (I believe it is) milliseconds into account.
So most likely, your two "same length" videos are not - by that measure.
(And if you checked the lengths with, say, MediaInfo, you'll see that in fact the Length of your two video are different.)

You can set a "tolerance", say,
length_dupe_tolerance=1
(in Everything.ini), & that should then find "duplicates" with a 1 second tolerance.

Type in the search bar:
/length_dupe_tolerance=1
, to set that value to 1 (second).

Good. This solved my problem also. Thanks.
Should be an indication of this possible adjust when you go to "find duplicate" function.
Perhaps a message you could disable about the existance of a tolerance adjustment.
Thanks for this marvellous tool.

Please specify length_dupe_tolerance in milliseconds.

Please try length_dupe_tolerance=1000 for 1 second.
