shure 24 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hello, I'd like to provide nfo for emby especially the actor part. But I found that if the actor's name in nfo is not english, emby would not download person data automatically even there is tmdbid of this actor. I have to go to the person page of this actor then emby will download person data according to tmdbid. The first and second actor's data have been downloaded, beacause I had go to their person pages. I'm wondering if possible that emby will download person data whether the actor‘s name in nfo is english or in other language if there is actor‘s tmdbid in nfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hi, why do you need it to happen before you actually open the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shure 24 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Hi, thanks for your reply. I hope that emby will download actor's person data(at least photo) automatically when I open a movie page or a tv page. But now, because I provide nfo and the name of actor in nfo is in my own language rather than english even there is the actor's tmdbid. I have to open every actor page to make emby download their data(display their photo) So if there are 20 actors in a movie, I have to open actor page 20 times. If I don't open the actor page, like the picture I send, the movie page will not display the actor photo. If I have 20 movies, maybe I have to open actor page about 200 times.

Like the movie mad detective，as for actor “高雄” and “李日升” their name in nfo is in chinese not english, so when I open the movie page, emby will not download their person data even I provide their person tmdbid in nfo as for actor "Wong Wa-Wo" , beacause his name is in english, emby will download his person data when I open the movie page. So, I suggest that emby download person data automatically if there are actors' tmdbid in nfo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 OK, currently we do not read the image url from nfo files, but perhaps in future updates we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shure 24 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Thanks for your fantastic work, I agree that emby can read the image url from nfo files is a good feature. Hope coming soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
