CharleyVarrick 276 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Totally by chance, I found I had a duplicate actor Charles "Charlie" Chaplin in my movies, one going under Charlie Chaplin, the other as Charles Chaplin. Anyone of you with a few of his movies should experience a similar issue While this is not Emby's fault, but themoviedb's, I am left wondering how many of those type of error I have in my library. An Actor Cleaner plugin would be extremely useful in my scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePlanet 139 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Why not simply correct the errors in themoviedb!? It is community driven Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 4 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick 276 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) I did report it to them, but my point is as duplicate actor issue happens with a legendary well known actor, how many more similar issues are out there with far lesser known names. Kodi (via Emby for Kodi) reports I have 140k movie actors. Edited November 4, 2018 by jlr19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 How would the plugin know they are the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick 276 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 I dont think it would find out by itself, but if it could only merge, like genre and studio cleaner do, it would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14859 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 It could be done the same way as the other "cleaners". However, it seems the configuration of the plug-in would take almost as long as just fixing the data at the source so I'm not sure it would be worth the performance impact (which could be significant).
