Spaceboy 2573 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 It is my understanding that generally TV show actors are shown at the show level with only guest stars shown at an episode level, no actors are expected at a series level. Not sure when this changed but i don't see any actors shown at show level, it doesn't matter which of the shows i check, actors only show at the episode level which then excludes all actors common to multiple episodes. I can't see that this would have been by design, but perhaps i'm wrong?

tarnalcock 4 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I have Cast and Crew at Series/Show level and Episode level. How is 12 monkeys? I want to watch that! Firstly, in the dashboard got to Metadata > Advanced > expand "People" and check that you have all of those ticked. Then doing a manual "People Refresh", via the scheduled tasks tab in the dashboard may help. Secondly in the Web App, go to Metadata Manager, expand your sub folder (i.e. "Series" or whatever), then select the show in question, then expand 'People'. What shows up there? You should see people at this level. I cannot confirm as I am not near my actual server, but I would assume you should find similar as the season and episode level again, further down the tree. You could try using "Refresh" here, or clicking the . . . button next to said button and selecting "Advanced Refresh" where you could choose to fill in missing data.

Spaceboy 2573 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I have Cast and Crew at Series/Show level and Episode level. actually i do see the cast and crew for some series but not all. Do not Flight of the Conchords Lost 24 Do Last Man on Earth Fear the Walking Dead 15 Storeys loads of others but these are examples. no the people do not show up in the metadata manager at the show level but based on the issue i'm reporting that seems expected and the same issue.

Spaceboy 2573 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 Did you try the advanced refresh? no, because its less useful than a chocolate teapot. does absolutely nothing apart from frustrate you from my experience. an infinitely spinning circle is not what i need here

People or chocolate teapot. I'd honestly go with the chocolate teapot. Maybe with chocolate milk in it too.

Are all these missing from the previous bug and your metadata hasn't been refreshed to re-add missing metadata?
Solution Spaceboy 2573 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Solution Posted September 30, 2015 humble pie has been served and eaten, on this occasion advanced refresh did do the job. i moved my ibn folder a week ago and despite downloading the people i did need to refresh the tv show metadata. feel free to laugh at me 2
tarnalcock 4 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I am glad to hear you got it working. I had a thought last night and was going to ask ou to check the metadata in tvshow.nfo so see how that looked but I guess that is not necessary now.
