Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to display a cast/actor list on the main movie page using showcase?

Seems every other item is there apart from who's in the movie.

I realise i can press info and then cast to see but i would like to be able to display the cast when scrolling movies. I don't need to select any cast from here so solely just a list.

Any help or a straight out "NO" would be appreciated

Thanks

Everything is possible, but this is not yet provided in the skin.
You would have to edit the showcase view, adding the information from the other view into it to do this.

Kib, I copy pasted this from the DialogVideoInfo.xml which seems to be displaying the cast on the info screen but it didn't do anything. I'm not that familiar with xml but can kinda figure stuff out by working through it.
Im guessing scrolling movies is not pulling any cast data and the cast button in the info screen does which is why my list docent work or is there more to it than that

Ah I had not considered that. It might not be possible at all because the properties are not filled in by the application.
