@FrostBox

many many THANKS for this nice addon. I could not test it yet, but is there an option in Filmography that the movies from an actor that i have in my movielibrary become an other color ? So that i could see what movies i have with actor ?

@fmronan

Do you have no Filmography ? In the screenshot with Daniel Radcliff the Filmography button is grey ?

Done

Code:

You can test without skin integration!
Simply Go to add-ons programs et launch metadata actors Nod

I have to say this is very nice script! Cool

Can you also add label which returns a value if movie has been watched in your library?

- krish_2k4 - 2012-02-22

Is it possible to select a movie and then have this script suggest/recommend movie with similar actors?

for instance if you select "Goodfellas" it would search the database for actors in Goodfellas who also appear in other movies together? Also to make it more accurate it can list movies with the same actors, directors and genre....Of the top of my head it should be Casino as it has the same director, similar actors such as Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro.

So if you select Godfather, the top results should be Godfather part 2.

im just throwing this out there, don't even know if it is possible!
