batch update of information about actors - Druidblack - 2024-12-30
How can I update the metadata of all actors (which are in jf). I want to run a scan and reload the images.
For movies or TV shows, you can select a media library and run a scan with image replacement. How do I select all the actors?

Dashboard > Scheduled Tasks > Refresh People should trigger a refresh of actor metadata. I believe that simply updates out-of-date images and tries to fetch images for those that don't yet exist in Jellyfin.

Are you interested in doing this because you're missing many artist images? If so, you might be affected by this bug. The linked github page contains a script that will solve the problem as a workaround until the bug is squashed.
