Actors and other content they appear in

OMG! I never noticed that, on the Actors' details screen, you are also presented with other media that they appear in - even trailers. That's SO cool! Nice touch, devs!

Thanks for the feedback !

Yes, this is to reduce the hammering on The TVDB servers that was happening a few years ago. As you noticed, once you click their picture, it populates. You can also run the schedules task that is supposed to grab actor info and pictures.

Ahhh, makes sense I suppose.

Either way, the Scheduled task is set to run once a week or so and has been since I installed this server. It doesn't seem to grab them all though, as I still see unpopulated actors, which populate when I click on these...
