Better IMDB Integration // mod: filming locations

[tom80H]

Thanks for your suggestion. It’s rather hard to deal with lists of suggestions where other users can only vote for all or nothing, hence it’s good practice to stick with one suggestion per thread.

That being said… some of your suggestions seem to be already covered elsewhere. Please comment/vote in those existing threads in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

Access to discover credits WHILE the movie/TV show is playing. I don’t need the fancy thing that Amazon does where it knows exactly whose in the scene, I just want a menu that pops up from the side or bottom (maybe allow the user to choose) that let’s me look up the actors in the movie to see how old they are, what other movies they’ve been in, etc.

• General access to cast/credits during playback → Discover Features during playback
• The „fancy option“, to display who’s currently on screen → Show Actors and Music Credits // mod: on screen/playing at active point during playback

IMDB Trivia. This is probably the biggest (and maybe silliest in some eyes) request. I feel like there are a lot of people that love to look up behind the scene information, stories from set, etc that make watching the film more fun. They also have this for every episode of TV shows as well. Accessing this in a “live” menu while watching the movie would also be amazing.

• display during playback → Add "Pop-Up Video" feature to movies using Trivia from IMDB
• Pre-play trivia → Pre-movie Trivia as an option instead of movie trailers
• On movie details page → [Feature Request] Add IMDb “Did you Know?” (trivia, etc.) content to Plex Movie details page.

Soundtracks would also be great. IMDB does a good job at including all the songs in the movie even if they aren’t included in the end credits. Sometimes you want to know what songs are being played in random scenes!

You should already be able to enable this for your libraries. See the „Related Albums and Tracks“ section in the related support article.

Cross platform consistency. Plexweb gives so much more detail than other platforms (specifically Apple TV) like the age of the actors and the names of the characters they play on the attached movies. On Apple TV it just shows a mini bio and a list of the movies.

IIRC there’s one standing issue with the Apple TV client where it doesn’t list the name of an actor‘s character in the hub listing movies/shows of that person in your library.
I’ll need to check to find the related bug report.
