[RESOLVED] Ghost titles: How do I remove them.

Post by Teddyboy » Mon Jan 18, 2021 11:46 pm

I know this has been discussed before, but I'm not able to find the post. I was able to sync to the new CCC database, but I came up with two title that that are blank, but they are duplicates of titles that are already there. It's like they are ghost titles if that make sense. How do I get rid of them.

I don't recall this ever being discussed. Sounds like a new issue. I'm having a hard time visualizing the issue, can you provide screenshots?

I figured it out. The ghost titles are blank titles in collection management. They display as a black cover with a question mark in the middle of the cover. There where two titles that were like that. I went into collection management and deleted them as they where not attached to anything. Once the records where deleted a resync in CMC removed them from the movie display.

Gotcha, that makes perfect sense now.

That's one of the new features in CCC, to be able to delete titles from My Movies and have it also remove from CMC. This triggers a Full Sync in CMC, as that was the most efficient way for me to make some disappear.

Related to removing titles from My Movies, there is a minor bug in CCC v4.1 that if there's a good connection to the My Movies API, but the API's response status is "failure", then CCC will end up removing all titles. I know that sounds scary, but it's really just an annoyance and you have to do another Full Export. I've just fixed this for v4.2 which should be out soon.
