Allow "Other Videos" to show the cast members

Although Plex does not support manually adding actors to the cast, we still have ways to add cast information to some videos that are not movies, including adding cast to home videos, which make search and manage videos more efficiently.

But “Other Videos” do not support showing the cast, because these videos don’t have posters or covers, I wanted to display them in horizontal view instead of vertical posters.

Currently only “TV Series” or “Movies” can show the cast members, but you can not change the display mode, I would like to ask for a display mode option to choose from horizontal or vertical image display for the library.

Or allow all libraries to display the cast and other information when it is available, just don’t hide the cast information for other agents.

Update: I just found out that the cast information can be displayed in the Android TV client, but not in the MAC client, well, I wish the MAC client could also display the cast information in “Other Videos” library, just like the Android TV client.

Android TV client Version: 9.14.0.37895
MAC client Version: 1.62.2.3451

In fact Plex HTPC can do it too.

It seems this is primarily about Plex Web (incl. the regular desktop client which uses the same user interface). Even on that platform you could filter for certain „actors“ (I’m using that with some family member names) — however they aren’t listed on the video details page.
