List all cast

[jglazer63 22]

In most of  my TV shows, it only lists the director or maybe producer/writer.  How do  I get it to show the entire cast including guest stars?  It is coming right from TVDB..

Do you have examples?  But yes there is a issue on TVDB per episode cast but thought there was a patch to correct the issue as TVDB v4 api screwed the way Emby was getting this info.  And their issue tracker pretty much went radio silent on the open issue.

On parent tv show you should see cast like this.

But on episode level you should see something like this.

But that depends of what info Emby can get from your metadata provider.

You need to be more specific to get further help.

Looks correct per provider

Seems odd that TVDB does not know it has actors and such in the cast.  How do I switch to IMDB so I can see the whole cast?

Well I personally don't want Series cast on episodes only guest starts.

IMDB is never used as they want $150,000 a year for their data. (mentioned in several topics) Data would come from OMDB if available and would be even more limited from a Actor/Cast perspective.

IMDb Essential Metadata for Movies/TV/OTT (Bulk data)

You can change to TMDB and Refresh metadata on the Series.
