Does any one else have the issue on nVidia Shield TV where on any movie listing, if you select a cast member, nothing happens? Mine has not been working for a few versions now and I just assumed it would be fixed. Thanks

This has been reported before.  
From what I remember, the actor icons had been missing in Plex for Android (TV) for quite some time. Plex have finally added them last summer(?) – however the actor icons are just being displayed… there’s no functionality that allows you clicking them to show a list of other movies/shows of that actor in your library.

For now all you got is the more inconvenient approach to manually search or filter for those actors.

Awesome, well hopefully that will be fixed in the near future. Thanks.
