I want to hide the names of the characters that the actors are playing in a movie or TV show. For some movies/shows, knowing the name of their character can spoil the entire movie/show, especially if their identity is supposed to be kept a secret until the end. Keeping the actors' names is fine. I just want to hide their character's name. Is this possible?

There is no setting to allow that.
If you are using nfo files, you can delete the <role> tag and refresh the movie back into the library.
The only other way is to edit the database directly. But don't attempt that if you have no experience with SQL

I don't really want to play with the nfo files for all my movies and tv shows just for this though. Is it possible to request this feature? It makes total sense to avoid potential spoilers.

If you use skin estuary you can also edit your DialogVideoInfo.xml.
Search for "$INFO[ListItem.Label2]" and delete it.
You will find it 2x in the DialogVideoInfo.xml.

Thank you! This worked perfectly. I don't know if I should start another thread, but on that same info page, the rating for the movie/show is displayed on the right side. Is there a way to remove the rating on that info page in the settings or anything I can remove from one of the xml files?
