#529 Actor scraping only scraping 50
After fixing the IMDB actor scraping in the latest version (TYVM BTW), MC always seems to only scrape the first 50 actors in both TV shows and movies. Regardless of how I set the options in the Actors tab in preferences. I have tried setting them to 'all available' and 250 and even then it will only scrape the first 50.
Can you give me Movie and series with more that 50 actors so I can test please.
Sure, sorry I should have included that from the start.
TVShow=True Detective https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2356777/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cst_sm
Movie=Avatar: The Way of Water https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1630029/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cst_sm
Checked and your right. I'll look into this for the next release.
Checking into this and IMDb have changed their webpages again. Also, In fullcredits for way of the water is only returning 64 main cast and another 16 extras, but MC never adds the extras.
But there is a lot for TV series, so I'll work on this
But, IMDB Actor scraping seems broken again, and this needs to be fixed...again.
Thanks for looking into this Rob. If IMDB has changed things once again, seems maybe it is just time to move onto a different metadata source. Im going to give TMDB a try for both my tv shows and movies, they seem to be the best alternative. TVDB is terrible when it comes to actor source.
