Local Actor (Cast) Photos method for emby 4.8.0+

Hi, I tripped upon this posting and I'm completely confused:

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/63331-how-to-backup-people-images-with-beta-going-onwards/

Currently, for local actor (cast) photos, I simply put the actor/role information in the nfo file for the video.  Then the actual actor photo goes into the ../metadata/people/actor_name directory as portrait.jpg and folder.jpg.  I also create a person.nfo file in the ../actor_name directory. 

With emby 4.8.0 that still seems to be working fine.

Is something changing?  I read the above linked post and am completely confused.  Is there a better way or another recommended way to do this?

If there has already been a post on this and I missed it, just let me know.  Thanks very much!!!

Hi, when the actor has a Tmdb id or Imdb, then that id will become part of the actor folder name in order to avoid collisions of multiple actors with the same name.
