Double on "actors"

Open ginung opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

There will be double information on the actors, if I do the following:

  1. I scrap my movie file information using the "the movie db" scraper. Then I save.
  2. Because The Movie DB scrapper does not have "Tags" information about a movie, then I will scrap in the same file using the "IMDB" scrapper but I only ticked the "tags" section in the "Infos to Load" section. I save.

Look at the results. In the "Actors" tab, there will be double information. IMDB scrapper will add Actors data, even though I never asked for that them. I have to repeat the scrapping process again using The Movie DB scrapper to make them normal.

Thanks. Part of this issue should be fixed by https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/pull/1163 where I add a proper "only copy what was requested" feature.

Is there any chance that this will get fixed somewhen? Same as my closed issue https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/issues/1410 it is not possible to re-scrape (and therefore update) and entry as it will always get double actors, even when using the same scraper twice.

Edit: I just found out something else: If I scrape without "actors" selected, it will always double the actor list. If I scrape with "actors" selected, it will correctly clear the list and just add the actors once! But it will also create the .actors folder I don't want.

Edit2: Ok I found that I can disable "download actor images" in the settings. So this is a viable workaround to not get duplicate actors.

Edit3: As the inital poster posted, that still does not work, Beside the setting from Edit2, I need to scrape the movies with Actors deselected (which then duplicates all entries every time) and then scrape all again with Actors selected. Then it finally seems to be right.
