Hi,
i have a question about the processing of tv show actors:
I have set the option that the complete cast should be downloaded and therefore in the tvshow.nfo all actors are listed. I think the actors originate from IMDB in this case (e.g. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367279/full...cl_sm#cast) - is this correct?
I would have thought, that the process for every single tv show episode is similar but in the corresponding episode NFO files i didn't find any actors defined, but only "guest stars" which seem to originate from TVDB (e.g. http://thetvdb.com/?tab=episode&seriesid...5852&lid=7). Actually i thought that for every single episode the corresponding actors (e.g. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0515211/full...cl_sm#cast) would be inserted into the episode nfo file - why isn't this the case?
The consequence of this is, that XBMC assigns the full tv show cast (which means every actor, which plays in at least one episode in a show) to every single episode - which bloats my library enormously and doesn't make that much sense if you ask me. Is this the intended behaviour?
