I am guessing that imdb data pulls headshots of actors that are members and paid up for their annual $150 fee.  I've noticed that indie actors often have either non-standard photos that are not correct head shot sizes, which may mean they are not members of imdb.  I believe that promotional, non-headshots are permitted on an account without a membership.  Looking at Tim's account, his main photo is not a headshot.  If you look at all the actors that do not get instant headshots, it seems that all have non headshots as their main photo.  Possibly not a paying member, and possibly the reason why the metadata does not get exported from imdb, unless you go in and force it by looking up an identity.  I could not find an answer online, but did notice the $150 annual fee for putting up proper headshots.

It seems that this is an imdb thing.

To a point that is how they work but since you have broken placeholds can you post the server log for the same time as this image as it suggests you have a path issue.

thanks for your reply, fresh install and default setting are still applied.

clicking broken placeholder image populates. does this suggest path issue.

Still need to see the server log as a fresh install should not show you broke placeholder and suggest broken paths in the database of maybe a provider issue.

cool, no problem

question; where to locate log file  ?

@Lukewill have to comment as we have seen this in other topics as not positive if it/was a TVDB issue as your image path is a partial broken url.

This log alone shows 75 broken actor images from TVDB.

ok cool, it seems a plugin/TVDB issue rather than emby

Hi, can you try refreshing the metadata on the movies or series that the actor belongs to and see if that helps?

Posted

hi,

i refreshed the metadata and selected replace all images to no avail.

OK please try refreshing the metadata on one of the individual movies or series. Thanks.

unfortunately no go, the only way that's worked for me by clicking each missing placeholder, i now have RSI!

On imdb, Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt and Michael Kenneth Williams all have non standard headshots, smaller faces and with part of a logo or text behind them and come from a copyright 3rd party service.  These photos do not meet imdb's standards for headshots.  I still think it's possible that even though Steve B is quite famous, he may not be paying for his headshot on imdb as a member.  I believe they do not get forwarded as embedded image content for this reason.

Also everyone of the other actors on the following image, starting with Simon Davis have no listed head shots at all.  I think in these cases, you don't get what isn't available.  Simple as that.

every cast member with broken placeholder, and i manually refresh metadata, populates perfectly with image and bio !
