@FrostBox

many many THANKS for this nice addon. I could not test it yet, but is there an option in Filmography that the movies from an actor that i have in my movielibrary become an other color ? So that i could see what movies i have with actor ?

@fmronan

Do you have no Filmography ? In the screenshot with Daniel Radcliff the Filmography button is grey ?
