Could emby auto download actor metadata according to tmdbid in nfo?

I provide nfo file for emby,  the special part is that the node of actor‘s name is in Chinese other than English.

I found that if the name node is in Chinese, emby will not auto download actor metadata unless I click into the actor page.

but if the name node is in English,  emby will auto download actor metadata before I click into the actor page.

 

I think I had already provide the tmdbid of the actor in nfo, emby should auto download actor metadata whether the name is in what kind of language.

  <actor>
    <name>范伟</name>
    <type>Actor</type>
    <role>Wang Xiang / 王响</role>
    <order>0</order>
    <tmdbid>134029</tmdbid>

If the actor part in nfo like this, will auto download actor metadata when reading the nfo file

So weird

unfortunately, in tmdb the Chinese name of this Chinese actor is in Also Known As

 it means changing the language of metadata in emby can't help

After update MovieDb plugin to 1.6.7, just refresh the metadata of this media then the actor photos will be shown
