Actors limit in custom NFO (7 actors)?
#1
Hello,

Is there a limit to haw many actors you can put in custom NFO.
I have just realised that no mater how many actors (with roles) I put in custon NFO file - Kodi only shows 7.
That a real problem for films like Hobbit - there are way more "main" actors.

Can I somehow cancel that limit?

There´s no such limit. Maybe the skin you´re using is only displaying seven actors?

</actor>
<actor>
<name>Sam Riley</name>
<role>Diaval</role>

<actor>
<name>Brenton Thwaites</name>
<role>Prince Phillip</role>
</movie>

As you can see - There are 8 actors listed

And this is how it looks in KODI

There should be 8th actor in Maleficent movie - Brenton Thwaites as Prince Phillip
and also Brenton Thwaites after Angelina Jolie in Actors
But he is nowhere to be found Huh

Its the same with all movies - only 7 actors

EDIT: I'm using Kodi 14.0 Helix – Beta 1

That´s no valid nfo file. It is missing two closing actor tags (after role Diaval and Prince Phillip). To quickly validate those files just open them in eg. Firefox or any other browser. It should show you the exact spots.

I have searched all options in KODI, searched the Internet, this forum all because this silly mistake.

Anyway....thank you very much for spotting this mistake.
