First of all i should mention that I've searched the whole forum for this and haven't find a solution so i figured to ask.
Is there any way to get more than 3 actors or genres from IMDB? tryed different things and none seem to work.
For example when i use this
Code: Select all
{omdb.cast.name.take(4).join(', ')}
it only returns 3 actor names, same goes for genres.
I know it can be done with TMDB database but thats a litle different i prefer having IMDB information.

Looks like
OMDb API indeed only returns 3 actors. Well, that's that.

Note that FileBot does not use IMDB, and cannot use IMDB as per IMDB Terms of Service.

Why not use TheMovieDB information? You can always contribute to TheMovieDB if something is still missing.

Thank you for the answer boss
Well actually im currently using TheMovieDB the problem is some genres are missing like "musical" and "sport".
I was wondering if it is possible to combine data from OMDB and TheMovieDB for example take the 3 main genres form OMDB API then get genres from TheMovieDB and remove the duplicates.
That seems to be a little tricky but in theory it could be possible.

I'd start by adding the missing genres to TheMovieDB.
You can of course combine the results of different bindings:
Code: Select all
{
(omdb.genres + genres).unique().take(5)
}
But you will find it hard to deduplicate
"similar but not the same" genres:
Code: Select all
