tmb4016 86 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi, Is it possible to get Emby to display backdrops for People ? It works fine for Music artists but for actors the backdrop remains the same as the film if the link was followed from a Film or if from search results the actor has no backdrop. Ideally it would only replace the current display if a backdrop exists for the person ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmb4016 86 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Just noticed by accident ... so not sure if it is recent. If a movie does not have any backdrops then opening the Person page from the movie details page does show the actor backdrop. If a movie has backdrops which is most common then the movie backdrop is shown. To me this logic should be reversed and if a person has a backdrop it should show their backdrop not the movie backdrop. Only show the movie backdrop if the person does not have their own backdrop. Any chance of getting this changed ? Edited September 15, 2020 by tmb4016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8140 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) @Dibbes Actors/People do not have logos, backdrops, ect on any provider site do they? Where would they come from? Artists are another story. Edited September 27, 2020 by Happy2Play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that I have no clue where mine come from then. I do not remember adding actor backdrops myself but there are quite a few that I scrolled through to check, with backdrops...

Luke 36884 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 There's never been an internet source for them, so you would have had to have set them manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the inclusion.. back, but emby still look for backdrop from movie backdrop in priority. I have saved few actors backdrop (manually edited to add) and it always 30-40 seconds to load. Is there a way where we can tell emby to look people folder first and not look for movie backdrop. Edited September 2, 2022 by McMovies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
