You have TVDB and TMDB on at the same time, I wrote this in the discord when I figured it out so I'll just copy paste it here.
"Alright, confirmed. It was having TVDB and TMDB at the same time, they both are fetching different things, TVDB somehow for some reason is the one that will >always< choose the name of people, while TMDB is using their name and making it the path.
This makes JF incredibly confused and will throw a massive fit deleting the actor."
The thing that happens is that the Name and Path don't align. This should probably be fixed or at least put a warning that it might happen, especially for non-latin names where they don't always write it the same from metadata provider to provider.
Nice work @Kimaro! How did you get to that place in the UI, shown in your screenshot?
Does this discovery suggest any workarounds? Like perhaps I could go to that place in the UI and edit the Name field to align with the Path field?
So far I've tried: Changing my Movies Library to only use TMDB and not TVDB - that didn't seem to help. Also, from within a movie -> Edit Metadata -> Enabled Fields, I've tried unchecking "People" to lock it and prevent its data from being changed. But that didn't prevent the issue from happening as soon as I clicked on one of the affected actors.
