Hi Bart,

So I tried it out again and...

Amber DOES cache the actor images.

When I first click on a movie, the actor images load up 1 by 1, but if i go back and click on the same movie again this time they all load together ( but with a 2 or 3 second delay like you said )


I also tried clicking on the actor images in estuary and i got the list of movies that the actor is in pop up like you said.

I then tried this in amber and I get a screen pop up with "search results for (actor) in the top left and TWO spinning loading wheels saying "please wait".
These wheels have been spinning for about 15 minutes now and nothing is happening.

Do I need another plugin to make this work ?

Would it be complicated to just add an option to disable this behaviour and instead use the default kodi behaviour ? The delay is kind of annoying and at the moment the extra stuff you have added doesn't seem to work. ( for me at least)


P.S... I tried Aeon Nox Silvo again and it has GOT NOTHING ON AMBER !!!

Amber is by far the best skin on kodi in my opinion !!! The amount of options you have added are amazing !!! And the layout and design is brilliant !!! You even stopped the other annoying pop up about the autofill plugin

If you could make those actor images load instantly the skin would be SOOOOO SMOOOOTH

Let me know if you want me to test anything, I will be happy to help you.

Thanks again

Rob

@treboR2Robert , thanks for doing more testing on this.

The issue you mention with local search should not happen.  This is what happens for me when I click on a cast item (and do not use embuary helper or tmdb helper):

For the example, I will click on Josh Gad:



And I get this window:



I am not sure why it is not working for you.  It might have to do with you using PKC, though in theory that should not matter, since the local search is just searching your database.  Could you please go to the Search menu item, click it (press enter), type the titel of a movie you have and press Enter, and see if you get anything back other than the "Please Wait" busy loaders? Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

EDIT: @treboR2Robert , I will do as you suggest.  In the next skin update, if you have the option "Show Only Local Info" set to Yes (Settings, Amber Settings, Video Info), Amber will show the cast with the standard Kodi behavior.  Thanks for your idea.
