Duplicate Continue Watching entries with TMDB only

First, thank you for creating AIOMetadata it’s a fantastic project and really helpful for self-hosted setups.

Using AIOMetadata self-hosted with TMDB as the only provider, I’m seeing duplicate entries in Continue Watching for the same title.

"Setup:"

• AIOMetadata: latest Docker
• Provider: TMDB only
• Scrape IMDb: ON
• Smart Fallback: OFF
• Hosting: HTTPS via Pangolin proxy
• Cinemata: disabled

"Steps to reproduce:"

1. Configure AIOMetadata with TMDB only
2. Play any movie or series
3. Check Continue Watching → duplicates appear

"Expected:"
Each title appears only once in Continue Watching

"Actual:"
Duplicates appear, likely due to internal ID mapping inconsistencies

"Notes:"

• Clearing cache or restarting container doesn’t fix it
• Only TMDB is enabled; Smart Fallback is disabled
• Cinemata is disabled

"Web UI context:"

• Smart Fallback: OFF
• Scrape IMDb: ON
• Catalog Mode Only: OFF
• Force Latin Cast Names: default

Even with these settings, duplicates persist.

Update: After removing the affected titles from Continue Watching and replaying them a few times, the duplicate entries have cleared. It seems the duplicates were caused by initial ID mismatches in TMDB-only mode. Everything appears to be working correctly for now, though I’ll keep an eye on future entries to see if it recurs.

Hi, All aiom movies/series title use imdb id as id regardless of what provider you choose or you would not be finding any streams. This is always the case, unless there is no tmdb to imdb mapping for it, which only happens for niche titles. If you see duplicates, then it could because you had those items in your continue watching before under a previous id.
