vincend87 0 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I use Emby for my anime collection since I mainly watch the series in German, and I want to have the German voice actors listed. Unfortunately, the scrapers can only find Japanese voice actors, so I'm doing the work of changing them for over 500 series. However, after a while of work, I noticed that voice actors who have a double role are being deleted, except for the first one entered. Once I update the metadata, only one voice actor is left. I'm now a bit frustrated and hope that there will be a solution for this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37066 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hi there, can you please provide a specific example? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincend87 0 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 For example, in the anime A.I.C.O. Incarnation, Christian LEONARD voices the character Kouichi Tachibana and also voices the character Hori. I can enter and save his information for both characters in the metadata editor and check the box to prevent future changes. However, even though the server automatically searches for metadata, Christian LEONARD is still listed as the voice actor for Kouichi Tachibana, but the entry stating that he is also the voice actor for Hori has disappeared.

GrimReaper 3294 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Are you locking those actors? And what kind of Metadata Refresh you're doing, Replace all or Search for missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincend87 0 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 The Actors are locked. Every actor that I added after the first one disappears. Only the first one remains, and all other changed metadata remains as I edited them. It happens on both metadata refresh. and on the autotask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Happy2Play 8282 Posted March 23, 2023 Solution Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Will have to test but it is one person with two roles not two people. I will guess when person externalids are discovered they are merged. As Emby does not do individual characters when they have more than one role. Might get away with it if you have fully locked metadata but technically would be considered two different people with same name.
