Updating People removes link in Movies

I think that would require a really really Large Donate Button, so I'll keep trying. I might be in alternate universe today (how can we ever really know?), but here are some different results. Each of the attached shows a movie/series record after updating...


* the record (for a known update status);
* the people needing updates (some or all links disappear);
* the record again (missing links return).
The behaviour continued with series (as illustrated by the first two screen shots) until I ran out of records needing updates. It continued with the first movie I tested (third shot), but then stopped (fourth shot)—sort of. I was still able to find a few, but they seemed rare.

So now we know...

* It happens.
* It stops happening. Maybe. For movies.
It's not much, but it didn't cost $4 billion. ;)

I could not find any bug in the main application that could lead to wrong person-movie connections, but the imdb plugin for people was not getting correct Year for series, so the it broke existing connections and led to the effect you describe.

In general: connections can get broken if the year, one of the titles or URL changes in filmography.

Hello again,

Sorry for a long delay. Even today I have the same problem, in spite of all fresh plugins installed. It's not only about series, but about regular movies as well. As far as I know, I am not the only one.
Kind regards,
lepigaja

I tried to reproduce the issue with the movie Jagten (2012) and updating actor's info for Mads Mikkelsen. No such a bug. Izvini.

Well, that's good for you. I have the same event no matter what movie I started from. It's a mess in my databese. God only knows which actors disappeared from which movies.
