I just tried the new extendedinfo update and think its great. It makes me feel foolish for spending several hours updating the antiquated Metadata Actors.
I would suggest adding the following code for directors (and perhaps the same for writers) (Line 351):
When bringing up directors, I noticed a few inconsistencies:
From testing, I find the biographical text (name, bio, etc.) to be microscopically small when viewed at a distance on a TV.
Outside of that criticism, thanks for this addition! It is my favorite new Kodi feature since I started using this program.

PHP Code:
<item>
<label>$INFO[ListItem.Director]</label>
<label2>$LOCALIZE[20339]:</label2>
<onclick condition="System.HasAddon(script.extendedinfo)">RunScript(script.extendedinfo,info=extendedactorinfo,name=$INFO[Container(300).ListItem.Label])</onclick>
<visible>!IsEmpty(ListItem.Director)</visible>
</item>
When bringing up directors, I noticed a few inconsistencies:
- Information such as "Known Movies" and "In Database" are coming-up blank.
- Also, could you add the actor's age beside the birthday, so I don't have to do the math?
- Regardless of crew member, the Biography pop-up says "Known For" as opposed to "Biography."
- When selecting a director, "Movie actor roles" appears before "Movie crew member." This should be reversed for directors and other crew members.
- It would be nice if the director's directed movies would be separated from the "Movie crew member" section.
