Lyfesaver 143 Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Right now I can't just "Remove identification" from a person in Emby the way you can for TV, Movies, etc. For instance, actor/director Kevin Smith never played cornerback for the Cowboys in the 90s 1
Luke 42668 Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Hi, the server doesn't attempt to do name based lookups for people, so it's probably best to look at where that came from in the first place.

I am not sure I understand what you mean? Kevin Smith was a cornerback for the Cowboys in the 90s and he is not the same actor/director Kevin Smith seen in the image. My NFO file has him as an "actor" (seen below) And Emby is matching/identifying him as the actor/director, not me or my NFO file. It has to be Emby doing name based lookups, what else could be doing it? I suppose it could be a plugin I have, but I am unable to identify which one it might be. Might you be able to point it out? Plugins installed:
Luke 42668 Posted Tuesday at 02:44 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:44 PM What makes you think Emby is doing that?

I mean, the only players here are Emby and the plugins. My NFO files cant dictate which person to match it to, right?

I did not even see that. Thank you for pointing out me overlooking the obvious I did not pay attn, thats on me (as usual) thanks y'all 1
ebr 16463 Posted Tuesday at 03:45 PM Posted Tuesday at 03:45 PM Yeah, its really amazing sometimes how our brains just decide to ignore things right in front of us. Happens to me all the time. No worries. 1
Luke 42668 Posted Tuesday at 06:32 PM Posted Tuesday at 06:32 PM Yea but it's more a question of how it got there.

Sorry, really not trying to be a jerk but I don't know how I can explain it better than my pervious post where I linked the specific steps on how the NFOs were created. If you can let me know where you are confused I can try and and answer more directly. Again, seriously... not trying to be a jerk but maybe I am not understanding what you are asking for (more than likely it is my lack of understanding that is the issue here, lol).
