Tanamur 53 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 MB3 Server Version 3.0.5050.37565 MB3 Server > Tools > Metadata is set to English & United States Hi All - I have just noticed my ImagesByName folder contains 8-10 non-English character folder names which I have not noted before. The folders appear to be Hebrew, Greek, Russian and Thai (see below): Светлана Ходченкова Юрий Степанов שרה סילברמן มาร์ค วอห์ลเบิร์ก Is there any particular reason why these actor's names would be appearing in non-English characters with my settings? Thanks, Tanamur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution crashkelly 62 Posted November 2, 2013 Solution Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) This is just a shot in the dark as I am not sure about MB3 does all of this stuff, but I am going to guess that those foreign names were acquired from parsing the movie.xml files for actors and that that is the way those actors appear in those files, Cheers EDIT: I have the same type of thing in my People folder Edited November 2, 2013 by crashkelly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanamur 53 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 This is just a shot in the dark as I am not sure about MB3 does all of this stuff, but I am going to guess that those foreign names were acquired from parsing the movie.xml files for actors and that that is the way those actors appear in those files, . Cheers EDIT: I have the same type of thing in my People folder Thanks crashkelly and Luke for the answers. I did a bit of local searching on indexed files and also with Google search for occurrences of these non-English characters. My local HDD indexed search did not return a result but Google gave the following: Светлана Ходченкова=Svetlana Khodchenkova Юрий Степанов=Yuri Stepanov שרה סילברמן = Sarah Silverman มาร์ค วอห์ลเบิร์ก = Mark Robert Michael Wahlberg All four of these actors do already have English character folder names in IBN and I looked at all of the movies in which they occur. None are non-English productions so I am not sure what movie.xml file would have parsed to generate the people folders. Anyway, it is not a major issue but I am still not sure why Marky Mark would be appearing in Thai script based on my movie/TV collection. Also, none of the non-English script actors appear in the People section of my MB3 web client in non-English characters. Cheers, Tanamur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 If they existed at any time the folders would have been created and they are never removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
