Category or search for movies and tv shows by actor, actress, director... #696

Open Bequiet19 opened 3 years ago

Bequiet19 commented 3 years ago

Is there a possibility to make this option? I think it would be interesting to look for movies and tv shows by actors, directors, screenwriters...

elgatito commented 3 years ago

@Bequiet19 You can use different skins and addons that show such information.

Bequiet19 commented 3 years ago

@elgatito I didn't mean to show information. I mean for example to click on an actor and then list all his movies or tv shows. And after that I can play that movie or tv show.

elgatito commented 3 years ago

@Bequiet19 Click on actor/director is managed by skin, not the Elementum addon. Elementum is only providing information to Kodi.

@elgatito I sorted out this with arctic horizon skin and TMDB helper. TMDB helper has this option implemented and TMDB helper is implemented in skin so it works great . :-) Thanks for advices and this great addon.

@elgatito Actually this is not bad idea. There is a category on the TMDB website called people, like movies and tv shows. For example, this category is also used in the TMDB helper. Within that option then there is popular, trending, search... Of course, this is not something that is necessary, especially if there is a lot of work to be done to implement it. There is always this other option via skins and TMDB helper.

It should be nice to have the option to search in people of tmdb, so to see all movies by a specific director for example.
