As he title say, theMovieDB agent no longer returns actor info for any movies I add to my library, this is using PMS 0.9.8.4. Anybody know if it's a PMS or an agent problem? And if there's a fix?
Hm... this seems to be working fine for me. Nothing has changed recently in the agent or the TMDB API as far as I know. Just to be sure, if you click through the "Info" on a movie and view the XML, you do not see the elements being populated there?
Can you let me know a specific movie that is not being populated? Also, possibly provide the com.plexapp.agents.themoviedb.log so I can see if there's anything suspicious in there?
Thanks for the quick reply, I've fixed it, seems the order of the agents on my PMS has been reset, not sure why. I've moved "The Movie Database" back to the top followed by "Local Media Assets" and it's now grabbing the actor info again :)
My situation is that I often prefer to choose my own movie posters so I metatag with iFlicks and change the poster if necessary, as I find the theMovieDB agent choices are not consistently the best ones. I then have iFlicks put the file in iTunes and have my Plex Movie Library pointed to my iTunes Movie folder. Becuase of this I have the Local Media Assets agent selected first, followed by theMovieDB agent. Organized this way I always get my preferred art but, I rarely get Actor images. Is there anyway to arrange the agents so I get my own posters but also get the actor images?

I have exactly the same setup and workflow. I too want most of the metadata to be pulled from the file itself but the actor and profile pics from TMDB. The way i did it was to edit the LocalMedia.bundle. In the videohelpers.py file, comment out the Cast section
# Cast
# try:
# if pl and 'cast' in pl and pl['cast']:
# item.roles.clear()
# for actor in pl['cast']:
# role = item.roles.new()
# role.actor = actor['name']
# else:
# artists = tags["\xa9ART"][0]
# if len(artists) > 0:
# artist_list = artists.split(',')
# item.roles.clear()
# for artist in artist_list:
# role = item.roles.new()
# role.actor = artist.strip()
# except: pass
Now copy the LocalMedia.bundle file somewhere other than the Plug-ins directory and then make a symbolic link in the Plug-in directory to the file. Lastly, make sure the order of your agents is Local Media first followed by The Movie Database second.
