I have one strange case example where actress Angela Dodson's profile is persistently populated with scraped metadata from actor Daveed Diggs.
On TMDB there is only one instance of each (no other person sharing these names), so they're each very easy to locate and differentiate.
I simply manually filled in the metadata I needed, correct ID tags, etc and locked down Angela Dodson's profile.
But I'm still very perplexed and scratching my head over what caused this and if it's happening with other actors as well... if it's a larger issue than just this one case example.
For clarity's sake, before manually editing and locking, what I tried to do was remove all media in which these actors appear from my media server, deleted their profile folders, then ran a full library scan and refreshed people, deleted the movie .nfo files before moving the movie folders back and re-scanning them into the media server again.
The misidentification issue between Angela Dodson and Daveed Diggs persisted even after doing all of that.
And in the GUI, even a manual identify of Angela Dodson, despite bringing up the correct TMDB profile to click on, still gets diverted into scraping Daveed Diggs' metadata again.
I wouldn't even know where to begin filing a bug report on this or what terms to search for. It's so convoluted.
