No information from actor about film role with EOS 4

Off topic. Open a new thread about it.

I have to agree with you, unfortunately I noticed that too. Let’s see, maybe there’s an update for the update.

You can be sure: after the update is before the update 😉

I find it completely incomprehensible why people have now refrained from listing the names of the people who embody them, as was previously the case with the names of the actors in films and series. How is it supposed to be possible to find out which (perhaps not so well-known) actor embodies which character? If you have information, please think it through! What are the makers of such updates actually thinking about? Maybe it would have been useful to put yourself in the user’s shoes!

Just tested it myself:

TV Guide > Cable 1 > Kiss Kiss Bang Bang OK > Arrow down > Shane Black is selected, there is nothing there except Director, I go one to the right on Robert Downey Jr. It says “Film role Harry Lockhart”

Or is that not what you meant?

PS: I separated the topic for the sake of order

At first I was shocked that this function with the actors should no longer be there, but I did it as described by Thomas. It no longer works in list form as before, but it is absolutely sufficient for my purposes. Unfortunately, the black/white selection is no longer available, I think it’s a shame that this actually good solution, where you can choose between different background “colors”, is no longer possible, tastes are different.

It’s also easier to do this while you’re watching a film or series, just click OK and then scroll down to More Info

that’s how it is, and if you go further to the right you’ll see others (Val Kilmer, etc). Pressing OK will bring up the “CV” if available, as well as other films in which the actor appears in the replay or in the near future, just like before.

Well, this jazzed-up presentation only makes sense if there is plenty of information and images available, which is far from the case. Now I have to laboriously click through anonymous likenesses, whose names are usually cut off, so that I can’t really find out more about the actors. But in these times of boredom, the thumb is happy that it has something to do, and the batteries in the remote control can now be replaced more often, which also ensures more movement in the living room.
