Purpose / Benefits Reduces pointless clutter on people's bio page. Avoids showing multiples episodes a person has acted in when they are already credited at the series level. Easy to see where a person has directed an episode of a series they act in. Functionality Removes guest stars and actors from episodes when they are also actors at the series level (match on server .Id) whilst ignoring 'legitimate' duplication for non acting roles e.g. Director. Instructions for Use A scheduled task - scheduled in the usual manner at regular intervals, nightly works well for me. Brucey Bonus - identifies (in debug log) likely provider data errors where there is a person name match on the episode/series without an id match. Credit A big shout out to @Cheesegeezer who provided the vast majority of the effort and expertise in this plugin, the base solution template, the configuration page, most of the code, the thumbnail, help with Git Hub and hours of support (almost everything :-)).
