Hello
I have a series of related video clips which I would like to enter into the XBMC database. I regarded each clip to be an episode in a custom made TV Show using custom made .NFO files.
So far so good. All the clips show up properly in XBMC as expected.
But when it came to searching for actors in XBMC, the actor list showed up totally blank. I then did some further investigations and came to the following conclusions:
All my clips have different actors/presenters, meaning I would only like to register these on episode level, i.e. I only enter these in the episodes .NFO files.
However, these actors do not turn up in the main actors list when you search for actors for TV Shows, for instance from the TV Show main menu in Confluence.
I then tried to enter the actors in the TV Show .NFO file and this time all actors were listed properly in the Actors list. But when displaying the episode detail information on the screen, all actors defined on TV Show level also showed up in the actors list for every episode, although they should not.
So my question is how to enter actors which are present only in single episodes in a TV Show, and how to make these listed in the TV Shows Actors list as well?
Actually I would suggest a change to the SQL script used to produce the TV Shows Actors list, since this query obviously only include the actors defined on TV Show level.
Please advice. The version of XBMC used is the official release of Eden.
