So you dont have the path building error?

well as far as backing up to a custom path that's still not working but restoring from the .actors folders in the media folder seems to be working its not gerating a log like shows in the picture, but it did import pictures for my actors.

I want to share the ubuntu plugins directory on my network with write permissions, how do i do that it doesn't allow me permission?

I'm running Through Docker on my NAS the issue you're with Ubuntu permission was one i was never able to overcome because when you look at emby in user it looks like it already has the permission it needs, but idk. I recommend I stalling a NAS OS (Linux base one) or something like that and running it through docker it a lot more easy give permission that way

I don't even know what docker is!

Anyway on linux I have it creating a most of the logs

I have found the error with the backup paths, but there seems to be a permissions issue creating directories with the backup function.  stuck at the moment, doing some googling....

 

The create directory, and therefore cannot write files is definately failing on linux with a permission error - i just have no idea why at the moment.

@mickle026 the restore from .actors is definitely working for me. thanks for adding that to the plugin

[mickle026 400]

Figured out whats wrong with linux in the backup part of the plugin, but now totally broke that on both systems, lol.

Linux permissions is a / directory seperator issue.  Linux cannot handle a trailing / on .net create directory.  Going to have to re-write the backup functions for this to be supported in both OS just because of the way i did it for windows.

no worries, i'll do it but It'll be at least a week or so...

No problem.  I fixed the logging but as above broke the backup.  It is backing up the images on both systems, just not the rest of it for the restore or fetcher to work yet.

The ones you have do work online from my website still for people, album covers, music artists, and song track covers.

Thank you very much!

I will try this in a moment.

Just to make more clear whats the basic problem here, i did a few more invenstigations on my system.

Still the movie Vidocq, still the actor Jean-Pierre Gos.

It is scraped by Tiny Media Manager freshly a few days ago, the actor is identfied, has a tmdb ID and a scraped image:

 

Even in my filesystem, in the .actor directory, there is the correct picture:

 

 

Just Emby simply does not show it, it just the grey card:

 

As soon as you click the actor, it shows the correct picture and from this moment on in the movie overview too. But its a thing you haev to to actor by actor and no refresh or rescrape inside emby can do it. This is an issue since many years, for many users, and i simply cant understand why its not fixed.

Therefore i ended up to meet you here because thats a chance to fight it!

And thats why i try to explain again and again, and for years, that this is a a problem of wrong or incomplete scraping, its just Emby not showing things that are alreaddy there!

 

Now, i try your new plugin option.

 

Read this thread (https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/104833-episode-actor-images-not-downloaded-from-tmdb-when-using-nfos/#comment-1104216), as I identified this issue. It's happens because Tiny Media Manager adds <lockdata>true</lockdata> to NFOs, which tells Emby not to allow a refresh of metadata because it's reading it from the NFO. However, when you import a show or movie using these NFOs, Emby will not download the actor images despite the presence of a TMDBID.

They said they're going to fix the issue.

I've noticed in using the new beta plugin that it takes a very long time to load certain actor pages. In the previous version of the Custom Person Provider plugin, that could happen if you had a lot of scrapers selected and the actor had no primary image, but in this version, it happens with certain actors even when they already have an image.

The more scrapers I turn on, the longer it takes, even though it shouldn't be searching for an actor image in this scenario.

Also, the People Web Scrapers function doesn't seem to work unless you either turn on the Developer Server or add a Custom Server URL.

Thats a very good information, thank!

It does not completly explain the behavior, because all the basic information from the NFO and, posters, backdrops, description, rating, and maybe half or more of the actor pictures is shown after importing (=copy into to library location) correctly. So Emby "scrapes" the information from the local data, but stops somewhere in the middle (of the actors pictures?).

Now appears to be working correctly on my win10 server (not sure about linux yet)

*Fix to ensure Image type is only the Primary Image
*Fix to not link the file on your drive but copy it to the metadata (Thus not allow Emby to delete the original)

Two options Now,

1/ Replace ALL images with those found in your folders
2/ Replace only those that are MISSING with those found in your folders

As with everything I do, test it on a test server first.  Its working on mine but as proved before plugins may misbehave on others systems.

 

Custom Provider.zip 2.99 MB · 6 downloads

That did somethjing! Most ot the movies I picked as random samples, including Vidocq, have a lot more actor images now.

I will do further investigation if the now still gray cards simply have no actor images in the .actor dir, or what else is going on here.

 

An other question: The GUI shows "Running" for the  ".actor missing only" since hours, but the log stopped to fill up long ago.

The logfile ends with some lines from one of my recordings:

11.Feb.2022  -  23.02.00 ================================================================

I cant tell, if it just finished working or crashed or something. Would you mind to check if you correctly end the routing by setting the "Running" to "Done" in the GUI and maybe think about to add a "all done" message to the logfile?

[tr0nllam 34]

I love the new .actor import.

Would it be possible to add it for TV Shows as well?

It does say finished on the webpage (if you keep the page open and dont navigate away while its running), but I'll add that to the log when its finished/done.

Look at the time of the last entry and check the embyserver log, and see if something crashed it at that time and date.

It should already do them aswell.  The coding incorporates "Series" types , ie tv shows.

Unless i need to know a different structure such as if the .actors folder is in a season folder. ie where to look for the actors.

At Episode level it would be a new import button because that would need a different approach. (ie if the .actors folder is where the episode files are)

Nope, both Series regulars and Episode cast are contained in .actors subfolder in TV series root folder.

Here's one on blank portable 4.6.7.0 instance with 1 TV show only, run both ALL followed by MISSING actors task, UI was showing Running... Finished - none observed in logs nor images applied.

embyserver.txt

Edit: Note that it is NFO-only driven instance, all EMBY internal meta-scrapers/fetchers are disabled. Actors are obviously read from NFO, however no \metadata\people subfolder is created yet.

Thanks for that but I wanted the log Info generated by my plugin
With info which were TV shows (not the movies)

Just where it was looking for those actors.

Thanks.

 

Im at work now all weekend (just going), it'll be monday before I get time to look at this properly.

That is complete log upon running plugin twice - first all Actors then missing actors. Nothing shows in the log, as stated above, it is as tasks were not run at all.

Edit: And again, UI shows Running... Finished but log shows nothing.

Edit: Gotcha, didn't even see those logs.

The path plugin is looking for is missing TV SHOW folder, i.e. 

C:\Test\Test Series\SUSPICION (2022)\.actors

instead of

C:\Test\Test Series\.actors

as it is currently looking for (and naturally not finding) images.

So Emby treats both PATH for Series and Movies differently !  There are 2 options within emby, ask for its path or ask for its containing folder.  For TV Series you definately have to use containing folder.

The typo "mathcing" will be fixed in the next build.

Let me know if its ok

OK added looking in subfolders that may or may not contain an " .actors " folder, so I don't know where else to look "on the storage media" for episode actors if they are not in these folders.

 

Movies

You can put actors in the Movie Folder path "\<MovieName>\" , or in "\<MovieName>\.actors\" folder
\<MovieName>\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<MovieName>\Uma Thurman.jpg
\<MovieName>\.actors\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<MovieName>\.actors\Uma Thurman.jpg

These are all supported


TV Shows

You can put actors in the Folder path, or in any .actors folder contained within any subfolders such as "series 1\.actors\" or "Season1\.actors\".

Actornames should be the same as Emby library entry (same case) but can contain _ underscores.

\<TVShow>\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\Uma Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\.actors\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\.actors\Uma Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\<Folder>\Uma Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\<Folder>\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\<Folder>\.actors\Uma Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\<Folder>\.actors\Uma_Thurman.jpg

These are all supported

 

I hope this fixes what you require

 

Is there any thing similar for music artists?

The issue isn't where the .actors folder is located, the issue is that the plugin doesn't look for actor images that only appear in individual episodes. Tiny Media Manager puts all TV Show actor images in the same .actors folder, so the plugin is looking in the right spot, it just doesn't appear to search for actors that only appear in the episodes and aren't listed as series regulars.

OK, sorry for misunderstanding, so I have to query Emby on episode level then because asking for the series actors is not giving me them.

This is easy , but are the actors in the root folder/.actors of the series or in series x/.actors folders?

This is easy , but are the actors in the root folder/.actors of the series or in series x/.actors folders?

They're all in "TV Shows\<TV Show Name>\.actors," so not separated by individual season.

So hopefully I got it right this time

Took out the code for checking season folders as written above as its not needed and probably a waste of time.

Added code to query episodes.  First check the main folder then the episodes.  It might do all the TV Shows main folders then all the episodes (not checked the order)

 

Movies

You can put actors in the Movie Folder path "\<MovieName>\" , or in "\<MovieName>\.actors\" folder
\<MovieName>\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<MovieName>\Uma Thurman.jpg
\<MovieName>\.actors\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<MovieName>\.actors\Uma Thurman.jpg

These are all supported

TV Shows Main Cover & Episodes

You can put actors in the TV Show path in an .actors folder.

Actornames should be the same as Emby library entry (same case) but can contain _ underscores.

\<TVShow>\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\Uma Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\.actors\Uma_Thurman.jpg
\<TVShow>\.actors\Uma Thurman.jpg

These are all supported

 

Let me know if this works, thanks

Great stuff, @mickle026. I reckon you can also dump search inside movie/TV show root folder - images will either be in .actors subfolder or not at all, spare some time.
