Hi just wondered if it is possible to change the way headshots work?

When I click an actors name I would like plex to search all my libraries to show MOVIES & TV & anything with this actors name in.

Simple do a normal search.

Is this possible?

If not maybe it could show a link saying hey did you want to see the actors TV shows too and link to a search of the other library?

TV Library

Using search function

Movies Library

Weirdly plex search results actually group ‘films & programmes’ together

Hi that is for something different that is for the info below a film.

I am talking about the ability to see what films & tv shows you currently have.

Perhaps this is the direction of plex though to make search not work with local media and only show you ways of buying new content…

You might want to take a look at the bottom 4 settings here: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/online-media-sources

ok thanks that fixed it.

It is a bug though as directors work without changing any settings.

Where as actors only work once setting changed.
