View Full Version : Show Actor Info in XBMC?
Is there a possibility to show some Info about the actors participating in a movie?
Does the scraper scrape Information on the movie's actors, and is it up to the skin to show them? Is there a skin with this Info?
I'm using the mediastream Skin and the "media preview"-view. But theres only Info on Director/Writer/Rating/etc.
Thanks in advance!

Actor names are scraped automatically. If you want to download actor thumbs as well, you will have to enable it in video settings. Everything else is done in the skin.

What kind of information do you mean exactly?
Exactly I mean just the names (or a few names) of the main actors. Since I usually describe a movie starting with something like: "it's Keanu's latest movie" or "It's Willis playing a guy who.." - you know?
Mostly it's the names of the actors on the movieposter...
It would be really nice if this information was given when browsing through my Movie-DB.. Right now (in Mediastream Media-preview) there are only the directros and writers listed. Just add a line for Mainactors like: Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Roberts (guess the movie! :-) )
No idea about Mediastream, if it's Mediastream specific, please post in that subforum.
but in PMII or PM3.HD you can select the cast button from the media info window (http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Video_Library#The_Media_Information_Screen) .
