hi luke,

      Could I link the actor(my family member for example) to the video by myself? So when I click the actor under a video ,I wil get a list of video by the actor in the local server?

 

      I add an actor manually , but it didn't work.

 

      Do you have any suggestions?

 

thanks.

Sure can, just use edit metadata on the video and add yourself to people section, hit save.  You should see yourself in cast and crew.  Click on your image placeholder, edit image and upload a image for yourself.

 

Now every time you add yourself to a item your image will be present and when you click on your image every item you have attached yourself will be listed.

 

I believe you have to do a library scan or refresh the item after the changes.

You said you did an actor manually. How did you do that?

Oh,maybe my description isn't accurate, but i just did what as Happy2Play said.   Edit metadata-->People-->Add new actor,

 

but when i click on the Cast & Crew below the video,it just display an empty webpage ,i can not sort videos by the actor. 

 

If the actor is a movie star in imdb, it will show all movies in the local server if i click on the actor.

 

This is my purpose.

 

pls see the screenshortcuts below:

emmm...

 

I find this works in Movie library but not in Home Video & photos library.

 

Well,I will put the video in Movie library.

 

Another issue,how can i use Tags to filter videos?  The tags can not be clicked on the webpage.  :(

Okay with my tests adding Cast and Crew does not appear to work for Home Videos and Photos libraries in 3.5.3.0, but does work in the next release 3.6. 

 

Correction linked media to cast and crew in Home videos doesn't work in current stable release as shown above.

 

As far as I know tags have never been hyperlinked.
