Apologies for this issue. I will look into it and get it resolved before the next release.

Can you advise any specific TV Series titles.

Arrow, Black Sails, Conviction, The Americans, I don't think it matters.

Before I was using 3.662 and had tv show actors from IMDB and episode actors from TVDB, but I didn't like it because there were no thumbs for guest stars, I tried both actors from IMDB for one series and I think it worked because I remember seeing some new thumbs in the folder, I upgraded to 3.668 and tried for all series, but it happened what I said and now even with 3.662 it's the same. I'm on Windows 7

There was a fix for one option, that may be causing some of this grief.
Look at TV Preferences, five options above the apply button
Enable TV Show actor thumbs to be copied for Episode Actor Thumbs

I need to triple check this routine and ensure this is working correctly for all cases. I suspect I boo-boo'd when this was corrected a few versions ago.

Did some more extensive testing:

- with "allow TV show thumbs to be copied for episodes" enabled and tvshow from IMDB/TVDB and episodes from TVDB: downloads thumbs from imdb/tvdb and stores the local paths in tvshow.nfo; if the episode has guest stars, it will only store some tags for guest stars in the episode nfo, if it doesn't, it will store the paths that are in tvshow.nfo

-with "allow TV show thumbs to be copied for episodes" disabled and tvshow from IMDB/TVDB and episodes from TVDB: same thing, except it doesn't add the paths for episodes that don't have guest stars, so those episodes have no cast

- with "allow TV show thumbs to be copied for episodes" enabled or disabled and tvshow from IMDB/TVDB and episodes from IMDB: downloads thumbs from imdb/tvdb and stores the local paths in tvshow.nfo; the episode nfos have the same cast like on imdb's page but with urls instead of local paths

This will be due to those episodes not having an IMDB Id assigned on TheTvDb site.

I do not know how the other Managers scrape the episode data without the IMDb Id number, but I can add this to the To Do list.

Preferably I suggest users pay it forward and sign up with TheTvDb site, and add missing information as they find it. This in turn allows other users to benefit from complete meta-data being available.

Darn it.

Yep, hate it when they do that.
Usually I has in the forum for an Admin to update the files and give them the info.

Still, that is a pain in the rear.

MC use to have a IMDb scraper, but its success rate was dismal.
I may have to look at this in the New Year, see what can be done.
