HI im trying to add Persons to movies manually (porn) this works well, but on the Person page i can not see the movies. on the movie page i can see the persons does this only work if a imdb-id is provided? i thought the person works like tags, but they are also missing in search search the person does work, but only the person itself and if the name is in the filename no movies found where i manually added the person/tag any ideas? i did allready a full scan afterwards thanks for help Version 3.3.1.0 running on freenas/docker

Hello, I like the search function of Emby very much. However, if I search for i.e. "David Bowie", I find the person twice It's not a big deal, but when I clik on "Artist", I find some information (aprox 105 songs in my case), and if I click on "Person", I find other information.(1 movie and aprox 50 songs). What is the difference? Can I merge both information lists? It would be nice to have all the songs displayed in one list... kind regards, Bart

3.0.5526.29593 Similar to http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/8745-artist-listed-twice-in-album-artist-folder/?hl=duplicate In a similar way as to how it is impossible to identify incorrect similar artist ID3 tags from within MBS.... due to MBS Person and Artist views showing the Artist/Person names as matched rather than as is.... and the content against the Matched Person/Artist rather than Person/Artist as is... People Views also exhibit this problematic symptom..eg abby eliott The two source entities which created these two objects are 'Abby Elliot' and 'Abby Elliott'... in this case the 2nd 'incorrect' person object 'Abby Elliot' came from a gueststars tag on a series.xml.... Unfortunately it is impossible to use MBS to find the offending tag/source object and correct... because 1. The person/artist object is shown as matched rather than as is...so searching for the incorrect value outside MBS is obfuscated..(although looking at the IBN entry/path can help) 2. clicking on both person objects in UI shows content for the same matched person on the fetcher...NOT...the content which precipitated the object. Clicking one of the objects..the object for 'Abby Elliott' should show 3 episodes of HIMYM where the actor is defined...and it does... Clicking on the other object ..the object for 'Abby Elliot' (also shown as 'Abby Elliott') should show 1 Series of HIMYM where the actor is defined. but it doesnt... its shows the previous / same as above... Another example..i have 3 "Weird Al" Yankovic..s clicking on each one yields the following unique URLS http://localhost:8096/web/itembynamedetails.html?id=12980317ee5e2d0a0858a58977ff5620&context=tv&topParentId=f0a9d2c6947d6c6defaa52c7af70e0b8 http://localhost:8096/web/itembynamedetails.html?id=f6a10a3fe8863fc089849e76375dbd52&context=tv&topParentId=f0a9d2c6947d6c6defaa52c7af70e0b8 http://localhost:8096/web/itembynamedetails.html?id=f3ac96f426691445d1ffd6c74a616c11&context=tv&topParentId=f0a9d2c6947d6c6defaa52c7af70e0b8 but they all show the same content...the same movie 'the naked gun'.. The feature request is.... to name the Artist/Person objects in their respective views, as is not as matched... to not hide the content from the user which precipitated the object in the view..eg (the tags on) the tracks which precipitated the artist or e.g. the TVDB actor metadata which precipitated the person. or better yet...in this example There should be two person objects, one Abby Elliot - Identified and Matched (because it does) - showing content for 'Abby Elliott' and the other Abby Elliot - Not identified or Matched (because it doesn't) - Show content for 'Abby Elliot' Then when the duplicate/incorrect entry is identified...it would be obvious why..and the correction simple... thanks for considering..

Version 3.0.5238.39498 For example Jean-Claude Van Damme. Sometimes person image is displayed...sometimes not. When clicking on person image or blank image place holder, the following error message is displayed: ->Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I originally posted this on 10 May 2014 - 05:45 PM. I haven't received any response from admin/developers (maybe due to upgrade over weeekend). In any case I am reposting this in the hopes that It will get a response from admin/developers. I apologize if I am just being to impatient. Using old IBN person structure. Updated person .jpg does update in movie display. The scenario is as follows: 1) IBN\People\{Actor Name}\folder.jpg exists. 2) folder.jpg is replaced. 3) Corresponding image under "Cast & Crew" is old .jpg 4) Click on relevant image to go to the person/actor page->image is new .jpg > Click on "Edit" > Click on "Refresh" > Return to "Cast & Crew" on main movie page->image is still old .jpg 5) On main movie page click on "Edit" > Click on "Refresh"->image is still old .jpg 6) On "Scheduled Tasks" page click on "Refresh People" > Return to "Cast & Crew" on main movie page->image is still old .jpg 7) On "Scheduled Tasks" page click on "Scan media library" > Return to "Cast & Crew" on main movie page->image is still old .jpg The only way I have been able to get the image on the movie page to update is to "Upload" the new .jpg. Is there a way to perform a bulk update for the person/actor images on the main movie pages?

Is there a way to perform a bulk update for the person/actor images on the main movie pages? In addition, I have noticed that after uploading an image (I always upload from the media folder), the image is usually deleted (but not always). Is this functioning as expected? If so, why and when is it necessary to delete the image after uploading it?

is there anything planed to make the person details visible in MBC? at the moment if you select a person it jumps directly to the items it is involed another thing i mentioned is that in chocolate in the detail view neither the genres nor the director are selectable to get all the containing items
