only hast problems with special caracters during the import from csv.

é for example is imported as a questionmark inside a square --> don't know how to translate it into english

think has here problems with UTF

[mickle026 400]

OK, added a utf8 conversion to the text to provide utf support

so Acción becomes Acción

Again, not tested this

 

CustomProviderStable.zip

[mickle026 400]

perhaps your text file is a different encoding such as utf16 utf16le or utf32 ?

[paddy75 14]

@mickle026 Is it possible to use this plug-in to backup actors in a specific library? Like for example if I just wanted to back up actors from my tv show library would I be able to do that?

In the current form this is only supported to the media folers via creating kodi style ".actors" folders.  It is not the same as People backup as it doesnt save anything oither than the images.

Hi, what kind of update are you looking for?

[mickle026 400]

It will be a while before anything is released because the plugin is getting a full rewrite to remove the existing issues. 

New items will be in the new release when its ready.

It'll completely replace this version.

Is it just me or does the IMDB Person Image Scraper no longer work?

For a while, it was occasionally failing to fetch an image, but now I no longer see any IMDB images.

Run "Backup People (Movie and Series Cast Images)" task, backup folder created however not a single image created, NFOs only. 4.7.10.0 stable.

 

[mickle026 400]

Thanks for letting me know.

I am happy finding this plugin. unfortunately it seems not to work with emby 4.8.1.0. I just need a bulk refresh of people/actors. Can anyone help me how to do it now?
@mickle026: Are you still coding at this plugin? I do also need a solution to export/import collections (songs, album, artists etc). There is no way within emby right now.
