Actor Images Not Matching up with Imdb

[Blueeyiz702 200]

When i try to identify a actor image that does not show on movie,and input imdb id it keeps returning a blank like actor does not exist

and it has to be done manually. Its happened multiple time over past couple of weeks. Even tho there is a imdb id for Sienna Nanue when i input to identify with id and name it does not work and image stays blank?

Emby doesnt pull information from IMDB. Entering the id only allows cross reference with its metadata providers. It doesn't guarantee updated information or images.

Try using the identify feature and fill in the MovieDb id.

You have to remember no information or images ever comes directly from IMDB.

So then is there a way to fix the problem,so i don't have to go through and manually do the one's

that do not so up. And Luke i tried that to same issue.

There is no image for "Sennia Nanue" on TMDB so you would have to upload one directly to your server or help the community and upload one at TMDB.

Was going to ask why IMDB ids returned no results from TMDB (when results are available) but saw the error in the log when searching, note there is no query info.

Updated most of the missing images for that movie.

[Luke 25795]

We should just remove Imdb from the person Identify form altogether.

 

I tested person identify via MovieDB Id and it worked just fine.

What is the purpose of the TV.com ID also? 

[Luke 25795]

To be able to show the link on the detail screen. I'm not really sure if anyone cares about tv.com anymore.

[Happy2Play 4399]

I don't see who would provide it TMDB or TVDB.  Don't see external options at either unless I am just blind.

I added images to the database,and it still won't update them? So there must be something going wrong

 

 

 

[Happy2Play 4399]

Sometimes it take awhile for them to be processed and be available via the API.  They are always immediately visible on the website.  I have 4 images that still haven't updated.

 

Not sure of TMDB's policy but I know Fanart has a 7 day wait for new images unless you have a api key or are a vip member.

Requests to fanart without a personal API key return images that were approved over 7 days ago. With a personal API key that drops to 48 hours and if you are also a fanart VIP member that will further drop to around 10 minutes.

In addition to that there is a caching layer in emby server that will last for up to 3 days.

Even if you use Refresh or Identify?
