I learned of two bugs/issues -
1. The problem with actors showing as gray is explained here - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/8103 - and how to "workaround" it. Apparently it has to do with I guess, previous NFO files leftover in the media folders so it just skips searching? I can confirm this using 3x HDD. Two of which, I had working perfectly last night, I deleted all JPG, PNG, NFO, reinstalled Jellyfin, everything worked perfect. I then added the 3rd HDD, and only the movies/shows on this HDD, had issues with actors not showing up.
2. Weirdly, "collections" were created fine automatically, but none of them grabbed an image, no matter what I tried with the "refresh metadata" options. I then went in to "edit Metadata" and saw it enabled "lock to prevent changes". After unchecking that, and then doing a "refresh" it grabbed the images for collections fine. But why would it lock it without actually grabbing an image? I know it is unrelated to the issue #1, because I made sure to delete all NFO, PNG and JPG before reinstalling Jellyfin and starting over, on a HDD that has specific collections that didn't load fine, so the bug happened regardless of the HDD. Is there a way to just not "lock" this stuff by default?
