Some casts do not have profile page at Plex Discover

Server Version#:1.42.2.10156
Player Version#:4.152.0

I’ve noticed that some actors, such as Chloe Pirrie, are indexed by Plex Discover. When you click on her name in the Cast & Crew field, you’re taken to a profile page that shows what she’s known for, along with a complete filmography.

However, for other actors, such as Kasumi Arimura, even though she has an IMDb page ( Kasumi Arimura - IMDb ), clicking her name applies a filter to display related films in your own library, rather than redirecting to Plex Discover.

What data source does Plex Discover use? Is it possible to integrate IMDb? Thanks

What agent are you using for the library where you experience this?

Ensure that you

  1. use the modern Plex metadata agent in your library
    (if you switched agents at some point, while items were already present in the library, perform “Refresh Metadata” at the library level and let it finish)
  2. don’t have “Allow matching to explicit content” enabled in the properties of the library

Thanks, I am using Plex Movie agent for Movie library.

Many thanks! I got this all-flash NAS yesterday and yes, this is a new Plex instance and the metadata refresh is still ongoing. I also enabled “Allow matching to explicit content” for this library.

I will follow your advice and see what will happen.

Don’t, unless you plan on putting actual porn into it.
