Images for Actors Reduced

[WeerdMunkee1978 3]

The images for actors and movie posters have been severely reduced as well!! I haven't had to come on this forum for YEARS, but just had to because everything was fine just earlier today, now all the actor images are gone. I knew something was wrong when after even trying to replace an image of Tom Cruise, literally only ONE comes up. Something is definitely askew in the Emby world...check it out. Try to replace a movie poster or actor image and get back to me lol...

Might be an update needed for TheMovieDB plugin with 4.9.5, or they're having issues with their service... These errors are definitely odd, even my text editor complained about weird characters. I can refresh metadata just fine on movies I added before, but I added a new one tonight  (Double Dragon) and seeing errors like this when refreshing metadata or trying to view images for people. I'm in the process of ripping another movie, I'll see if that also shows the same errors on import. EDIT: Added another new movie and saw the same type of errors. It's like binary data isn't being converted properly.
