Beav 17 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Where does emby pull and store the meta-data on actors? The reason I'm asking is that I just watched "Buck Privates" (1941)and Shemp Howard is in the cast. When you open up the listing under his name all it shows is Birth and Death information, nothing else. If you go to the IMDB page for Buck Privates and then look up Shemp it shows his Bio. I have found several actors whose information is blank. Is there a way to force the actor data to update? Because someone like Shemp, Moe, Larry, and Curly's infromation should not be blank!

Luke 39656 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 The actor bio information is from moviedb.
Happy2Play 9356 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Can it be pulled from IMDB? Sorry no as IMDB data is not free. (legally) Edited September 24, 2018 by Happy2Play 1
Beav 17 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 So seeing as tmdb can't update some actor's information would it be possible to have an editable field in the meta-data so that users can update biographies, much like we can with movie information ?

Luke 39656 Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 We already have that. Just click on an actor from a movie, and then you can edit their metadata from there. 1
