Why so few actors?

[KimberlyDC 3]

Weet er iemand hoe het komt dat als wij een film of serie in Emby zitten deze amper acteurs erin zet? Onze info wordt van verschillende metadata-sites gehaald zoals TMBD, IMDB, Trakt, TVDB en daarop staan enorm veel acteurs bij een bepaalde serie maar toch zet hij er in Emby maar bvb 3 in...Hoe komt dit en kunnen we dit oplossen? Metadata vernieuwen doet niks. Zie afbeelding voor voorbeeld.

Does anyone know why when we put a movie or series in Emby it hardly puts any actors in it? 
Our info is taken from various metadata sites such as TMBD, IMDB, Trakt, TVDB and there are a lot of actors in a certain series but 
still it only puts 3 in Emby for example... 
How does this happen and can we solve this? Refreshing metadata does nothing. See image for example.

Hi, what metadata fetchers are enabled on the library, and in what order?

[KimberlyDC 3]

Hi, i'll put in a picture of how it is on that library.

I know it's not the typical workflow for many that use Emby, but I use a media manager (either TinyMediaManager 3 or MediaElch) and that allows me to have far more information in my NFO files that just what the regular metadata scrapers can provide.  I have all metadata and image scrapers within Emby disabled so that I have complete control of my library info. This might be a solution for you if you enjoy this level of control.

Would have to test myself but it is the way TMDB breaks out Cast and you have to remember Cast will only come from first provider.  But TMDB Cast list is decieving as it lists every person ever on the show but does not provide that full list as series level as they technically are some Guest stars.

Yes, as TMDB "credits" argument returns only latest season cast - to see full cast from all seasons, Emby would need to query "aggregate_credits" - which, I assume, a lot of users would not happily welcome.
