There are some pictures missing on the Cast.

OK try refreshing the metadata on the movie and see if  that helps.

After further investigation refreshing metadata does not always work.
What does work 100% is to click on each person with missing photo and then press F5 on the movie screen.

[Luke 42870]

It will work but it has to be after you've already seen the broken image.

Additionally it does some existing lookups that we can't do as part of the library scan because there's too many. It has to be one at a time, so it's not until clicking on the person. But in most cases the refresh metadata of the movie or show will do it.

So you are saying I have to manually refresh the metadata for every movie I add and there is no permanent solution to fix that?
I still don't understand why the person isn't fixed once I scan it once.

No I'm not. If you add a new movie and none of the people are already in your database, then they won't have paths pointing to your old windows install and there shouldn't be problem.

Because you had a path saved in your database for that person already. The server isn't' going to go and check on every single library scan if those paths are still valid or not. Would you like your library scans to be slow or fast?

If you run the scan metadata folder scheduled task (which will take a long time), then that will help scrub the bad paths out of your database. 

That won't pull in new images but will remove one step from the process of cleaning them up.

Mackie was in both movies Avengers and Avengers: AoU. I had to fix him twice. I added A:Aou after I fixed Avengers.
