Previously plex would pull cast profile pictures from tmdb as we would up vote, down vote and add pictures there which would then show up in plex. This gave **the community** some level of control over the profile pictures (albeit small). I noticed today lots of cast pictures changing after a metadata refresh and upon checking they have changed pictures which do not exist on tmdb. As one example (but there are many more). I’ll use Raelee Hill and here is a screenshot from [https://watch.plex.tv/person/raelee-hill](https://watch.plex.tv/person/raelee-hill) which matches the profile on my own plex server. ![Screenshot from 2024-11-03 09-58-01](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/a/7/4/a7497d0392c9648159c98c9df88ff625fdedce26.jpeg) Checking tmdb [Raelee Hill - Profile Images — The Movie Database (TMDB)](https://www.themoviedb.org/person/123881-raelee-hill/images/profiles) this profile does not exist. Looking beyond that plex maybe getting this profile from RT [Raelee Hill | Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/raelee_hill). So, is this a change in how plex gets its cast profiles ? While the picture itself is not bad its the fact plex is taking away the small control the community had over these profiles which does not sit well with me. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/cast-profile-picture-source-changes/894330)._
