friends, I am not managing to filter movies based on cast, property name. I can filter based on year but would like to filter based on the artist because the artist created filter and would like to use the name of each artist to find the films he participates.

I used this example json. can anybody help me ? (in my collection has a movie with actor this example.)

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetMovies", "params": { "filter": {"field": "cast", "operator": "contains", "value": "Ben Affleck"}, "limits": { "start" : 0, "end": 75 }, "properties" : ["cast"], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "label", "ignorearticle": true } }, "id": "libMovies"}

This was posted on this thread a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen any replies to it.
I'm also trying to filter on cast contents, without any luck.
Has anyone got a working example of such a filter?
Thanks in advance :-}  

The correct field is "actor", not "cast". Try this:

json:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetMovies", "params": { "filter": {"field": "actor", "operator": "contains", "value": "Ben Affleck"}, "limits": { "start" : 0, "end": 2 }, "properties" : ["cast"], "sort": { "order": "ascending", "method": "label", "ignorearticle": true } }, "id": "33"}

You can see the valid filters in the wiki (https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v8#V....GetMovies), just expand the JSON Schema Description and scroll down. According to that website the other valid filters are genreid, genre, year, director, studio, setid, tag and country. I've not tested those other filters though.
