shure 24 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I provide nfo file for emby, the special part is that the node of actor‘s name is in Chinese other than English. I found that if the name node is in Chinese, emby will not auto download actor metadata unless I click into the actor page. but if the name node is in English, emby will auto download actor metadata before I click into the actor page. I think I had already provide the tmdbid of the actor in nfo, emby should auto download actor metadata whether the name is in what kind of language. <actor> <name>范伟</name> <type>Actor</type> <role>Wang Xiang / 王响</role> <order>0</order> <tmdbid>134029</tmdbid> <thumb>https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/h632/tcnzgvuFW8SkE2OGD2Vve12kNSo.jpg</thumb> <profile>https://www.themoviedb.org/person/134029</profile> </actor> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
