Move people from movies to a full page with ability to list several actors/writers/directors

9 votes

Hi,

Currently people are only listed in movies. As there is also people in tv shows, there should be a page at the same level as movies and tv shows to displayed people in both of these librairies (and others like music, audiobooks, etc...)

These page could list more than just one people for each category (like now)

In example i would like to know the top 5 Most featured actor instead of only first, same for Most featured actor per genre

I implemented this page a while ago but found a major bug in it.
Do I count the actor per show or per episode?

As for the top 5, sounds like a good idea, I'm working on a full rework of the UI and seems like it will be easier to implement a top 5 now as well.

I think you should do like themoviedb and count actor only per show

But then a guest star in 5 shows will have a higher show count than someone who played in 1 show for 10 years.
Do you have any idea how themoviedb takes that into account?

In my opinion that's not a problem as we are looking to the most prolific actor so the number of different shows/movies are more important than the number of episodes.

themoviedb count each tv show for only one acting, no matter how many appearance they have made

But you may can add a category for actors that have been acting in the most episodes
