Anime Metadata

[m.a.biglin 1]

Is there any way to make Emby pull the english dub cast for a series instead of the Japanese dub cast?

I have the library set up 

     Preferred metadata language : English

     Country: United States.

I have the anime plug-in.

Of the options for series metadata downloaders, only MAL (MyAnimeList) seems to show the English cast on their website.

I chose a couple series to experiment with. I removed from EMBY and deleted all NFO's, scanned the library and then copied the episodes back into EMBY.

I disabled every series option except MAL. It didn't give me a series summary or cast.

I refreshed metadata- replace all, and nothing happened.

I refreshed metadata-Search for missing metadata and nothing happened

I re-enabled TVDB and chose refresh metadata-search for missing metadata, and within seconds I had the summary and the japanese dub cast.

I can manually replace all the cast, but that is time consuming and if I don't remember to Lock the metadata, it will be replaced by the Japanese cast again as soon as metadata is refreshed.

If it is not possible, it's not possible. But it seems like it should be.

You get the metadata available on your preferred scrapers.  For TVDB and themoviedb, that only occasionally includes the US voice cast for anime.

Correct. 

I have MAL selected and they have the info, but EMBY won't download any of it (even a summary). It downloads fine from everybody else, but nobody else has it.

MAL???  Is that from a plugin and, if so, which one?

The scraper MyAnimeList

OK, so you're using the anime plugin.  I'd suggest you check in the plugins forum.  I'd love to help but I don't like that plugin at all.  The data it pulls is not something I want near my media collection.
