How do I filter by actor?

[jglazer63 22]

If I want to list all movies I have that contain "Danny Kaye" for example.  How would I do that?

Thanks!

Hi, have you tried doing a search for "Danny Kaye"?

Yep.  Shows "Danny Kaye - Person" and does not list a single movie (I have many of his).

Ahh ok, that's better.... but it only shows the first 12.  There are many more.

Yes these limits should be extended, but clicking the header Movies/Shows will show you all item by said person in your library.

Thank you!   Very non-intuitive and hidden

There is no "See All" link in Emby Theater (at least the version I am running).

Not in TV display mode, no.

But you can still click on the word MOVIES and that will show all movies you have for this actor.

Yep, I would never have guessed that.  Thanks for the pointers!

Search on Actor/Actress does not work on Emby running on Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019. If you run a search the results are YOUTUBE videos vs the movies that I have in Emby. 

Any suggestions?

How are you initiating the search on your Shield? Are you using the  on your Android TV homescreen, or within the Emby app itself? They will both yield different results.

I’m using the search within Emby and getting these results.

Odd. Which version of the app are you using.

Also, these YouTube videos, are they known to you at all (part of your collection) - or completely random?

Can you show a screenshot?

@seanbuffI have an Update 

I was searching within Emby using “Dwayne the Rock Johnson” and this resulted in the YouTube videos. However, once I searched for “Dwayne Johnson” it worked as expected; it displayed my movies where he played in. 
 

Thank you for your help and my apologies for the confusion.
