sidcl 3 Posted September 23, 2025 Posted September 23, 2025 Hello! How to change Chinese for movie actors who are English. Currently, all film and television actors are in English! The newly added movies and TV shows only display Chinese names if the actors have already been searched, unless the actors are missing. At present, deleting metadata and searching again is still in English, and searching for actors separately is still in English. Local resources Themoviedb resources
Luke 42077 Posted September 24, 2025 Posted September 24, 2025 Hi, what metadata fetchers are enabled on the library, and in what order?
sidcl 3 Posted October 13, 2025 Author Posted October 13, 2025 Hello! Currently, only TheMovieDb metadata retriever is enabled. Observing that the newly added actors in the database are in Chinese, it indicates that the database cannot be updated (the old actor data is in English). It has nothing to do with that metadata retriever, it's just that actor information cannot be updated.
Luke 42077 Posted October 27, 2025 Posted October 27, 2025 What if you refresh the metadata on an existing movie?
sidcl 3 Posted November 29, 2025 Author Posted November 29, 2025 Delete metadata and refresh metadata to still have English names! Tested, as long as the actor has other works, no matter how they refresh, it won't work. You can tell the problem by looking at the data structure, it has nothing to do with the movie metadata. All are references!!! Then I also tested that entering the actor page from the movie and refreshing the metadata for the actors was useless. When searched in Chinese, the obtained name is also in English.
