Re-sync all movies for "cast art"

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: Windows, PMS Ver 4.34.3
Player Version#:

Just rebuilt my server and after a few hours of sync’ing all of my content, its done. Here’s my question.

I noticed that most of my movies don’t have pictures for the cast. My previous install used Movie Database and my new install defaulted to IMBD. I made the modification to use Movie Database for cast information and now I want to re-sync all of my movies so it replaces the actors initials with the actual pictures.

Where would I do this?

Thanks for the reply my friend… I probably didn’t frame the question correctly. I already made the modification to use the database I want… I was asking where do I go to rescan all of my movies so they will use the new database and have pictures… All of the movies are already matched, I just want to redo so I can have pictures of the actors

Refresh Metadata - one at a time.

Prepare to be disappointed:
You’ll get cast images for one item - then when another item has no image, the image you just got will show up blank - 'cause Plex uses the ‘latest image’ - even if it’s blank.

Then, if your actor is in a TV Show and plays a Rodent. Yep - The Rodent Pic…:

I will admit Nick looks a bit younger (and less crazy) as a Rodent, but yea…
Disappointment rules the day.
