denzoid 37 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) A couple weeks ago I noticed a bunch of missing cast and crew data completely missing on a bunch of newly added movies. I figured it might just be some temporary glitch so I manually selected "refresh metadata" which did not retrieve the cast and crew so I selected "Identify" and that did add the cast and crew info. A week or so later I looked at a few of the movies I "identified" and the cast and crew were missing again. I looked at my settings and thought I would try UN-checking the option "Automatically refresh metadata from the internet" AFTER I manually updated the titles missing cast and crew. It's a week later and the same titles are missing cast and crew again. Upon further inspection many (70-80%) of my movies are missing cast and crew and it seems all the new titles I have added in the last 1-2 weeks are missing cast and crew. A day or two ago I "identified" a few titles and then chose "Lock this item to prevent further changes" from the edit metadata section, so far those titles have retained their cast and crew data. Any ideas/suggestions? I have thousands of movies and would like to find a way to correct this other than manually going through every title. Any ideas? Log attached.

Luke 37006 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi, try refreshing metadata on the media that contains the actors. If you have locked metadata or disabled internet metadata features then this could be causing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attidudinal 0 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Ya know, I have been having the same issue and when I go to look for an answer - a SOLUTION to the problem of MULTIPLE MISSING ACTORS for NEW MOVIES ADDED that has been going on for SO LONG that they are now OLD movies... What I find is the fact that THIS ISSUE (of program dysfunction) has been going on (according to postings on the forum) since 2015 (at least) AND HAS YET TO BE FIXED! Yea, I've tried all the suggestions - such as the one above; NO IT DOES NOT WORK. Neither does a refresh of people (a scheduled task). The ONLY thing that has worked is the INDIVIDUAL DOWNLOAD OF EACH AND EVERY MISSING CAST MEMBER ON A MANUAL, repeat MANUAL BASIS (so much for automation). So, I guess the BIG QUESTION is WHEN IS EMBY GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM (as in FIX the programming) THAT HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE FOR YEARS ON END?

Again, if you read my post I locked the metadata AFTER I had to select "Identify" to get the actor info to populate. Sorry if I sound bitchy but I did write as detailed an explanation as I could so as to get specific recommendations on what I might try to do to get things working correctly.

Hi, we'd have to look at an example, but the method I suggested works just fine in my testing. Please see how to report a problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, We would need to go over specifics as usually this is something to do with a configuration issue of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also try refreshing the metadata on one of these titles and see if that helps pull in that information. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
