I know I "tried" the browse filesystem (slow) - and then went back to
browse Library (recommended). I checked - when I am on Library, I get the
multiple file names. When I do the file system, I don't get the multiple
file names - however, all my coverart and fanart is gone...

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary that would create symlinks.

I do not know how to work the HTTP Live Streaming - I am seeing this on my
backend when I run frontend on my backend...

Thank you for the help.
