Remove duplicate videos.py
From MythTV Official Wiki
| Author | Raymond Wagner |
| Description | This script is intended to search through the MythVideo database tables to find and delete any duplicate videos as identified by the hash value. This is a dumb delete, and simply removes anything but the first match. It will not necessarily keep the one with the most complete metadata. |
| Supports |

Note: This script is outdated and will not work out of the box on any distro that has moved to Python 3 as the default

# Name: remove_duplicate_videos.py
# Python Script
# Author: Raymond Wagner
# Purpose
# For reasons unknown, some people continue to get duplicate file
# entries in their MythVideo database. This script will detail those
# duplicate files based off hash number, and optionally delete them.
