I don't see that check box. I see a regular checkbox for actor data. Which has been there for a long time. And it works like this:

  • Off: When we get movie info, we only get a list of actors and their role without actor info.
  • On: When we get movie info, we only get a list of actors, their role, and actor info.

If you look at your scenario, there should be another checkbox, i.e:

[X] Get list of actors

[  ] Get actor information


You forget that the main work is in the GUI, Mediaportal. I haven't entered the Configurator on my HTPCs in over 2 years. And I think 99% of users, don't use the Configurator for movie information. Getting information, updating information is either automatic or in the GUI, Mediaportal.

If you add such options, you must firstly keep the current functionality in full, and secondly make it possible to manage it from the GUI, Mediaportal.

This is my opinion.


PS: I have in the settings, do not get information about Actors when you get information about the film, I want to get a complete list (Long) of actors. But I know that many people, it is worth to get a complete list (Long) of actors and get full information about them.
