    Hello, i'm fresh to Jellyfin tbh. I write my own metadata manager by python to create the metadata (nfo) for my database. For albums and videos, thery are perfect. However, the actor metadata seems not work as my expected. My personalized actor nfos have been added to the path under the metadata/People. And the chosen pics of actor can be shown correctly. The strange point is my actor has been forced to link with TMDB and link to someone in TMDB. It seems to pollute my own metadata, although the nfo has not been modified. I am curious any idea I can disable the current metadata downloads and not to fetch from online? The version is current 10.10.7.
    <person>
      <name>Mai</name>
      <type>actor</type>
      <studio>Paul</studio>
      <birthyear>2003</birthyear>
      <overview>Figure: T174 33A-22-33</overview>
      <image>poster.jpg</image>

    Here is my personal nfo and it will be forced to link someone in TMDB (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/3168627-mai).

    If any thoughts on this that would appreciate!
