Bulk replace image on cast/crew - podonnell - 2024-07-08
Seemingly have an issue where a bunch of cast and crew images are blank. Searching on them or replacing image metadata manually comes back with plenty of results. However I don't see a way to do this in bulk. Is there a way I can refresh all metadata on cast and crew?

Dashboard -> Scheduled Tasks - Refresh People

Thanks, I thought that was what it did, but running that did nothing for me unfortunately.
It seems that I have a bunch of people listed like this:
![[Image: image.png]](https://i.ibb.co/1bpD0bn/image.png)
And I have to manually do this in order to fix:

Editing the images to see what is currently there shows an odd, empty person:

But they all have data as soon as I force a refresh. Just trying to not have to do this manually as tons of people are in this weird error state.

Do you have a metadata downloader enabled in your library?

Yup, both. I'd say the majority of people are fine but as I scan around I am finding a few dozen that seem to have been given this blank image as their picture.
If the refresh people would actually delete the images they have assigned I think it would work in bulk.

Do you have NFOs generated by another app? If so check the file and make sure there aren't any url's for people in them. I think I remember reading about some bug regarding that.

Negative, I might have had something run a while ago when I first set this up, but there shouldn't be anything other than my movie files in my media folders.

Is there no global way to replace all existing data? What if I were to remove an item from my library and re-add it, would it have the People data cached?

The people data would remain if that actor is in another show/movie.
AFAIK, there is no way to globally replace all metadata. Only per library.

Per library would be just as fine for me since I only have two. Is there a way to purge all within a library?
