Description of the bug

Content duplicates in playlist after adding new items from a different library and change playlist image updating missing metadata.

Reproduction steps

Add TV_Show_A from LIBRARY A to a new playlist. The show is listed correctly in the playlist.
Add Movie_A, Movie_B, Movie_C from LIBRARY_B. Everything looks ok but the playlist image mosaic that shows 4 times the TV_Show_A picture.
To correct the image behaviour, the principal playlist picture is deleted and then is issued a rebuild using Update Metadata -> Search missing Metadata. Now the picture mosaic is ok (TV show + 3 movies).
Reopen the playlist and all the playlist entries now are duplicated in the same order.

What is the current bug behavior?

It seems to be a problem with rebuilding/searching metadata when (¿sql?) querying from 2 different libraries without appropiate grouping.

Removing one of the duplicated items from the playlist remove all occurrences of that item.

What is the expected correct behavior?

After updating the metadata, the playlist content elements shouldn't be duplicated.

Also removing one of the duplicated items should remove only that occurrence of the item.
