Having checked Android mobile, Android TV, web.plex, app.plex and desktop for Windows, why is it that only the Android devices show cast info for TV episodes? None of the other do.
I see cast info on my Plex-for-Windows, as well as my App.plex.tv web browser. Got a screenshot for us?
I wonder if you didn’t scroll down far enough? On PfW and web, I need to scroll down past the season list to see cast. Oh, and I MUST be in the “Show” view, and not in “Season/Episode” view.
Thanks, I’m not familiar with what you mean about “Show” view when it comes to episodes but here is a screenshot of an episode page taken from web.plex and there is no cast.
Plex displays cast information for the entire show, not for individual seasons or episodes.
Your screenshot is at the episode level. You need to be at the show level, the top level for a show. Click on “A Touch of Frost” to return to the top level for the show.
Example:
Yes, Plex DOES display cast information for episodes on Android mobile and Android TV as I said in my post. Here is a screenshot of the same Touch Of Frost episode which displays episode cast on Android mobile.
Actually the iOS client does display Episodic Cast Information. From my iPad running Plex for iOS 8.2:
and the same Episode card from Plex for Mac 1.44.0.2981:
Don’t get me started on how the different clients display (or don’t) TV Extras. I’ve given up on the clients being consistent. It’s maddening. I don’t know how the Ninjas or Employees keep track of it either.
Good luck,
Chris
Thanks. I don’t have Mac or iOS devices so it’s good to see what’s happening on them.
Thanks for the updates on the clients. I had not check the Android devices in awhile. Hopefully someday we get parity across all clients.
