ebr 14959 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Is there an image in that folder too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnwbass 3 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 No, a mater of fact there is no image in any of the folders in this directory. I just have a long list a-z (first letters only) under the people folder, e.g. Adam sandler shows in the theme but there is nothing in that folder not even an xml. Where are these images coming from and populating the theme? In MB2 I stored them locally using meta browser. bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14959 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 See the blog post accompanying the latest release. It will probably require the 3rd party tools to change to be compatible or you can use our fetching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnwbass 3 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Is the correct structure to have a long list a-z (first letters only) under the people folder. I ask because I have been messing around with the IBN people folder in the app data and maybe caused problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37251 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 did the server auto-generate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnwbass 3 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 This what I am not sure about now? After server install, I wasn't seeing all images so I copied my people folder from the MB2 build (stored local) to C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName directory. When I restart the server all of those folers get replaced by this list A-Z as I pointed out in the previous posts. So I'm not sure where the images are being pulled from because there is no images in these folder locations either after the sever re-created the people folder. However, I do see some images in the MBC theme but not all that I should. thx bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ebr 14959 Posted October 31, 2013 Solution Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah, if you installed fresh, you will be on the new scheme and the people information will come from the A-Z folders. In short, you won't be able to copy over from MB2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnwbass 3 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Ok, thx, Is there a way to reset fetching for just the people folders without re-installing the server? To ensure I'm getting new scheme and the people information. bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So clear out this folder, but don't delete the "People" folder itself, just the contents. %appdata%\MediaBrowser-Server\ImagesByName\People Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a few hours but it went off without a hitch. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37251 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 For the next release and in the current beta, behavior is improved to help with this. When scanning in new titles, even if you have existing metadata we'll still go out to the internet to try and pull in people information. Also, when opening individual person detail screens, there will be some on demand refreshing to attempt to fill in metadata for people that don't have any.
