Fetches incomplete list of Cast #256

Open dummifiedme opened 2 years ago

Title explains the issue.

  1. The number of casts is limited to 3.
  2. Even three casts are sometimes not fetched

Example: For the movie "Deep Jalta Rahe" this the the example output from OSDb Notice: Only "Ravi Tondon" included from the cast. image

This is the corresponding IMDb listing Notice: Ravi Tondon is not even in the top three. :) image

The cast member fetched by OSDb is indeed a part but very down the list of actors involved.

Can this be fixed?

And I have noticed this issue with many new and old "Hindi" titles eg. Aranyak(2021-) had the same issue where the most prominent cast was exluded.

I believe this pulls from wikidata, perhaps check what this title returns there as the data may not be available there yet
