Hello, 

 

i want to refresh the pictures and metadata from the complete Cast of all movies?

are there a task that i can start or any trigger?

Hi, try refreshing the metadata on one or two movies using the 3-dot menu. If this produces a satisfactory result, then you can do it at the library or parent folder level. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

it only works if i renew all pictures.

i have for most of my movies special picures, these will be changed if iíi do it.

 

is there no task i can run? in jelleyfin is a special task for that.

Hi, you can do it in bulk using the procedure I mentioned above. Have you tried that?

if i renew it only in the movie, then only the persons in this movie will be updated.

what will happen if i click on the 3 dots on a person and click renew all with pictures? will this renew the movies as well?

No, that will work fine but it will be a very manual process.

so this would only renew only this person? 

is there any possibility to renew all persons with pictures and dont renew the pictures of the movies?

Hi, there is currently no way to do that.

are there any plans to implement this?

A sub-option on the refresh dialog would be extremely helpful:

[X]  Replace existing images

        [X]  Preserve posters

Or perhaps it would be simpler to automatically lock the posters when they are selected manually, much like how metadata values get locked when modified manually.
