New actors area

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I did some testing on the new Videos plugin that will be standard with MP ver 
1.3 and it would be nice to have a actors area something like they are going to 
have. When in the movie detail page you can selet an actor in the movie and it 
takes you to a page that has a Biography of the actor and a picture. then with 
a right arrow on the remote you go to a list of all the movies the actor was in 
with the movies the are in you collection highlighted and if you click on one 
of the movies that are highlighted it plays.

Really cool.

Forgot to mention if you click on one of the movies that are not hightlighted 
it takes you to the IMDB page for that movie.

MF 6.0 already includes a lot of those features Ted:
1. If you have BrowseTheWeb/Webrowser plugin installed/enabled you can view 
persons details/photos, filmography, even film clips (not only for actors!) 
from IMDb via the context menu in any persons view (actors, producers, 
directors, writers or all persons)
2. There is a new option in 6.0 to enable downloads for persons views (in 
Artwork Setup)
3. You can already see the list of Films the person appears in in your 
collection - just press enter on the person's name.
See Issue #76:  Enable person list for movies in "normal" mode, and
    Issue #113:     Option to Download Persons Images
for further info.

The only thing MF does not have yet is a consolidated list of all movies 
showing the ones you have in your collection in a different color. I am not 
sure I want full filmography for every actor all the time since I can press a 
button to check it on IMDb if I want.

I have started documenting the new features in Wiki - Actors/Persons Views:

although I would say it is still in draft stage ;)

Is that still needed? Does existing implementation fulfil the needs or, if not, 
what is missing/should be added?

I think you have got it covered Guzzi.

Ok, so I will close this one here.
It is related and solved with several other issues, like issue#76.
