Show cast per TV episode

Hi, can you please include the cast for a TV show for each episode aired.
Thanks

On what apps are you missing this? From what I can tell/see, Plex is listing the show’s main cast on the show level and episode guest / recurring roles on the episodes.

They are missing on the webui via a browser.

Also, on the roku the episodes are showing the show cast and not the episode guests while android tv on shield shows the guests. It’s a bit of a mess at the moment :joy:

I’m using the Plex client on my Samsung TV. I only see cast/guests on a show level and not down to the episode.
It would be nice to see it at an episode level i.e. position to the episode and the episode casts/guest appears at the bottom.

Samsung Smart Hub or Tizen app?

The Plex app on this platform was developed by a 3rd party developer who has now (almost?) stopped supporting it (IIRC for personal reasons). I doubt you’ll see any feature additions in that 3rd party app.

As @anon5074910 pointed out… the tv-episode cast is also missing on some other players (e.g. #plex-web ) – so let’s keep the suggestion open for now, focusing on those other platforms.

Oh, I didn’t realize that. Thanks for the update.

I’m looking as well for this feature. I’m basically using plex web, Apple TV and the iOS App.
Would be very handy for changing cast or cameos.

Those two already show the episode specific cast

Hi Tom,
you’re basically right, the app shows some of the cast. But as no cast at all is stored for each episode, you can’t search for the apperance of an actor. You will get no results, of the full series:


This is a huge issue for a German TV show called “Tatort”. This show has changing teams and if you would like to see all episodes for one team only (e.g. filtered by lead character) you have to know the exact names of the episodes.
