Clicking cast photos in movie/TV details doesn't search for other media

Server Version#: 1.23.3.4707
Player Version#: 8.19.4.26517

When I am locked onto a movie or show and click the cast photo, it no longer searches and shows other media featuring that actor. I first noticed this on my Shield TV, but checked and it also no longer works on my Fire TV. It does still work on iOS and Plex Web in my browser.

The Plex client for Android / FireTV never did that. From what I remember it only got the capability to even show actor pictures approx. 1 year ago. That being said… all other clients I know do it… so it seems like a missing feature that’ll hopefully be added at some point.

Ah, I may be conflating viewers. I also have a Roku I no longer use, plus iOS and occasionally Plex Web. So I could just be remembering using the feature on one of those and just thinking it worked on my Shield and Fire. It especially confused me since the cast photos can be highlighted and when clicked acknowledge that they were clicked, but just don’t do anything. That made me think more “bug” than “missing feature”. I appreciate the clarification, though!


They take plenty of time to fix a bug…
