Actor Bios on Movies and TV Shows

Hello All.

while back we got a new feature, where you click on a actor actor and not only it tells you what movies you have in your library , and now it shows you there BIO and Filmography. which is so cool and love it. somewhere down the line after a update we lost it for Movies. we still have it in TV shows. did something happen? can it be fixed for Movies please.

Much appreciated
Joe.

Which client & version?

If using Plex Web, use hosted Plex Web, https://app.plex.tv/desktop/, not the bundled version.

The bundled version is a few releases behind the hosted version and does not display bio, filmography, etc.

Edit: Typo in original reply. Bundled version does not show bios, etc.

i do, doesn’t work. also doesn’t work on the apps

PMS version?

I’m running PMS 1.29.2. Bios available via hosted Plex Web, Plex for Windows 1.59.1, and Android TV app, v9.13.1.

Edit: I’m selecting the actor from a movie pre-play screen. It shows bio, etc.

If I search for an actor, it returns just their movies, no bios, etc.

Hosted Plex Web, app.plex.tv; Chrome v108.

Bundled Plex Web; Chrome v108.

im running Web Version 4.97.3 PMS PlexMediaServer-1.30… i clicked on link you gave and didnt work

Not sure why it is not working. Might run through the support article linked below and check requirements.

For example, the library must be using the Plex Movie or Plex TV Series agent/scanner. The legacy agents/scanners do not support the capability.

morning

yes it is in Plex Movie.

I believe you need to NOT have Adult content enabled in Movie Library Advanced settings and Refresh Metadata, then sign in and out player app.
