Luke 37155 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Have you compared to the data on tvdb? Perhaps try using moviedb instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke, With movieDB only: With the TVDB (better but still showing the wrong cast): I even tried to manually delete the wrong cast and add the correct one: Deleted Jeremy Renner: Added Zoe Saldana manually: And here is the result: Cant figure out what is going on? Do I have a corrupted database? Thanks! Edited August 3, 2023 by parhamsan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37155 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Was there a problem with moviedb? You have the cast locked due to editing, so refreshing metadata won't actually do anything. Try deleting the entire cast for the movie, making sure People isn't locked, then clicking Save. Then refresh metadata and see if that helps.

Luke, Deleted all the cast, make sure nothing is locked: Refreshed the Metadata: And now no cast appears unless I identify: When I identify the same thing happens: Tried both the MovieDB and TVDB as Movie Metadata Downloaders!!!

Luke 37155 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 OK. When you click on those people, do they have external id's, or no? If yes, are they correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

External Id for Zoe Saldana is correct (image and path are wrong): for the some of them the crew are totally wrong (detection of the crew is wrong by emby) but the external ids are correct.

parhamsan 12 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Luke, FYI I selected the setting on my library and refreshed all the metadata: Now most of my movies are showing the wrong cast and the odd this is that keep changing!!!! Any advice? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that this entry was Jake, but somehow got renamed to Zoe. How I don't know. Could have been bad data somewhere, like in an nfo file, or a defect in a previous server version, caused by plugin/api usage, etc. What I would suggest is getting Zoe and Jake out of your database altogether. That's going to require removing them both from all titles in your library. Once this is done, then run a scan of all libraries to clean out the database. Once that is done, verify that you can no longer find those people even via the search function. Once you've verified that, then go ahead and try refreshing metadata again.

Luke, As you can see from my previous post in a lot of movies, wrong cast and crew are still getting detected by emby; obviously I cant go to each movie one by one fix them. As this is a new issue, it is highly suspected an issue with the previous server versions. My question is, how do I rebuild the people database? Is it ok to delete folder and refresh metadata on each library? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37155 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 It’s all tied together. There is no way to just remove people. You’d have to just make a fresh start with the whole database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to just make a fresh start with the whole database. Luke, another odd thing, I manually deleted a wrong cast, for example "Sacha Kalis" being recognized as "Gamora" And After saving, now the "Nebula" that was initially recognized by "Ty Burell" is now recognized by someone else "Ryan Reynold", see below: This seems to me an indexing issue. So you think deleting the library and refreshing the database for that library could fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parhamsan 12 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hi Luke, Out of curiosity here is what I did. I installed a fresh copy of Emby Server on my desktop and shared the same library and guess what, I am still getting the wrong cast and crew: So there is something wrong with the metadata fetcher on the emby server so it can't be a corrupted database. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaycedk 390 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 See if you have left over nfo files in you movie folder. Try and move them out. And check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
