Merge duplicate movie entries
I don't understand why the same movie is shown on your site more than once. Several examples of this would be A Christmas Carol and the Vampire's assistant. Sometimes the same movie displays with a different poster which is even more confusing.
The system for merging duplicate movie entries in place. I’m currently in the process of mapping duplicate movies. If you see one that missed, please tell me.
Thanks!

Created the mapping system. Now I just need to hook in the catalog to check the mapping system and map out known duplicates.

I think 3rdfoundation is referring to the fact that there's duplicate movie entries, and not duplicate video entries. For example:
http://www.hd-trailers.net/movie/disney_s_a_christmas_carol/
http://www.hd-trailers.net/movie/a_christmas_carol/The reasoning for this is the main catalog is generated automatically, an different HD providers sometimes use different movie titles. In this case it's "Disney's A Christmas Carol" vs "A Christmas Carol"
Merging them is something we've been thinking about.

HD-Trailers.net covers about 6-7 HD providers, the 2 main providers being Apple and Yahoo, both of them release the same videos, this is why you may see the same video twice. But you cannot cover just one because some videos show up weeks after they were first released by one provider, they end up on the other.
Movie posters as well change over time, same as trailers, that is why you see different poster images as more and more videos of the same movie are posted.
