The tv shows have almost no actors.

[adry23sg 0]

I have a problem related only to TV series, as it doesn't happen to me with movies. It turns out that very few actors appear in the Cast & Crew section. 

In settings, in the "Series metadata downloaders" section I have "TheMovieDb" as the first option.

 

If I change the first option to "The Open Movie Database" I get a similar problem. 

If I change the first option to "TheTVDB" I find all the actors that appear in the TV series.

The problem is that I like to show IMDb ratings, but if I check "TheTVDB" as the first option I get the TMDb ratings.

 

I can't get the combination to show me all the actors in the TV series and use the IMDb rating.

 

Currently the iMDb rating of the example TV series is 7.7, while on TheTVDB it is 8.2. 

I clarify this for the screenshots

 

I would appreciate if you could help me to get it.

Regards

Set your library preferred meta-scrapers order as 1. TVDB 2. OMDB 3. TMDB.

People is configured to only come from first provider.

Until be have elements per provider support, there are really no way around these issues of wanting specific information from specific providers.

Hi, when you choose the priority of your metadata fetchers, you need to do that based on the shows you have, and which fetchers have the best data for the shows that you have. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Looks like the TMDB issue here is "credits" vs "aggregate_credits" (TV only).

movie actors don't come - Talk — The Movie Database (TMDB) (themoviedb.org)

But the issue would be Series actors vs someone who was in one episode.

credits = Returns credits from the last season.
aggregate_credits = Returns all credits from all seasons.
