Describe the bug

Here I use jellyfin to storage some TV shows. But I use tiny Media Manager v3(tMM) to grap TV information into .NFO file. Everything seems to be OK but only the actors info are not working.

I don't know if Jellyfin can do as what Kodi do. According to tiny Media Manager, tMM can enable the option Download actor images to .actors(docs link here: https://www.tinymediamanager.org/docs/tvshows/settings) and Kodi will load the local .actors folder. I try but won't see any response from Jellyfin.

My location won't get connect to www.thetvdb.com, so the jellyfin can not refresh actors details from the Internet. I'm looking forward to make it happen in LAN. So I turn to tMM and now it won't works. Here I'm now seeking for a official solutions. Also I know that there is a solution like:

/metadata/People/C/Chiwetel Ejiofor/poster.jpg

But it is a little incompatiable with most of the TV/Movie information grapping tools. So do we have any further plan to add actors folder support?

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Debian
  • Virtualization: KVM
  • Clients: Browser
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Jellyfin Version: 10.6.4 stable
  • Networking: Host
  • Storage: Samba

To Reproduce

  1. Go to 'TV'
  2. Click on 'Pennyworth'
  3. Selection 'Season 01'
  4. Check the actor pannel and will found that no actors image is displayed.

Expected behavior

That jellyfin can read .actors folder of each TV/Movies locally to extract actors information

Additional context

Does not think about using VPN or other proxy method. Would prefer method that by pre-download the required elements and send them to the server. In a word, that will be so great if jellyfin can be compatiable with tMM like Kodi.
