    Thanks again for your help but again this is not what I am asking for.
    This may be my first day to post a question on this forum but please keep in mind this is not my first day using jellyfin.

    I like many who use jellyfin have way to many actors/person's to edit them like you said above one at a time.

    What I want to know is not how to edit them one at a time but instead add the metadata for all my actors at the same time as adding all of my media content.

    We all know how to add the movie, and if you look into it some more you can read up on how to add a .nfo, and poster.jpg, and a banner.jpg etc..
    Now when you add the .nfo file and other files to the folder jellyfin will find that and use it to populate your move along with the poster and banner.
    Even tho it is not well known you can also add the actor images all at once for all of your movies and other media ( I will not go into detail here)

    What I want to know and trying to ask but can't seem to get across is when you have a offline jellyfin server and you have added your movies and the metadata for the movies even the hard to get working actors and their images..... how do you add the bio's for all of the actors/people? 

    Is their a way to add a person.nfo with the persons bio to the same folder as the actors image?
    (if you look at the images I posted above you can see what I am talking about "bio's" it has the actors real name and date of birth and all that.... How can I add all of that metadata when setting up my jellyfin server?) 

    Please if anyone knows how this can be done please share with us all.



    Thanks in advance.
