Managing actor images?
#1
I'm just curious if anyone has a way of managing some of the quirks around actor images.  I'm still using TVDB as a scraper for TV shows, and (as people probably know) if you scrape a show, it replaces the images for that show's actors with show-specific images.  That's sometimes tolerable but weird: Jean-Luc Picard appearing in his Star Trek costume when looking at the cast list for an X-Men movie.  And sometimes it's just bizarre: Brendan Fraser appearing as Robotman from Doom Patrol everywhere.  You can "fix" it by refreshing a movie with the actor, but then you lose certain data like your tags and watched status (and possibly your desired poster and fanart) and you have to reinput all of that.

I'm not necessarily looking for a technical solution; just curious if others have a way of dealing with this or if it only bothers me.

(A related issue is that i'd prefer if the images that came from movies were more of the actor in their prime instead of their most recent image, but that's not just a TVDB vs TMDB thing.)
