Actor-Roles not being passed to Emby.

[d00zah 127]

Emby Server v3.3.0.0, ServerWMC plugin v1.1.3.1, ServerWMC v1.0.1244.0

 

Using EPG123 / SD Guide data for WMC. Guide data includes Role info for each Actor listed for a particular program in the guide/recordings:

 

 

and this is a great improvement for WMC... but...

 

once the info is passed to Emby, Role data is missing:

 

 

which is sad, because Emby's presentation is far better than WMCs.

 

Can't use native tuner support because:

 

1) Ceton tuner (Eth6) unsupported

 

2) DRM channels & no reasonable expectation that Emby will pop to license the necessary tech.

 

I don't know if this is displayed in native support, or if was ever supported/intended/whatever with a plugin. Just curious if this is possible?

Emby's live-tv plugin interface does not have a way for the plugin to pass this info back to emby, so its something that would need to be changed on Emby's side.  I'm sure @@Luke will correct me if I am wrong.   Serverwmc does support the list of actors (its sends them to Kodi), but it would need to be updated to do actors roles (but it would be easy to do...).
