Clementine dupes library tracks when shared across local network #5908

I have two machines running Windows 10. One has a small hard drive so the other is being used as a file server, sharing via Windows Homegroups. I added the location of my music library to the homegroup on the server, and on the client machine I pointed Clementine's music library towards that location. On the initial library scan it worked fine, but after the second rescan the library on the client machine is showing dupes of every track.
I've tried multiple rescans to no effect.

Update... it just did another rescan and now there are THREE dupes. What gives?

Duplicate of #5615

I have the same problem. I have a CentOS 7 box sharing the music files tree via samba, and using Clementine 1.3.1 on Windows 10. Each time I run a library rescan Clementine shows yet another instance of every track in the tree. The size of the C:\Users\<me>\.config\Clementine\clementine.db file expands with each rescan.
Note that I am also running Clementine on the CentOS console. I killed that process and then did a library rescan again from the Windows machine and generated another set of duplicates.

It looks as if the Do a full library rescan operation does not purge the current data.

The problem seems to be sensitive to the type of reference to the network drive. When I used a UNC style path \\server\share\path then I get duplicates. If I map the share to a drive letter on Windows and then reference the driver letter, then no duplicates.
