Can we bring the movie director back to the fist position in the list of the cast? The director being listed at the end, behind unknown actors doesn’t make sense.

We’ve relocated the Director to the first position in 8.5. :slight_smile: [image] Infuse 8.5 - Smarter Streaming Releases We’re excited to announce that Infuse 8.5 is available today, bringing new streaming options, better media server support, and a handful o…

[image] Kofi_2000: every other platform i’ve ever seen properly lists the director above everyone else. so I use another platform. I understand there are personal preferences here, but Emby, Jellyfin, and Plex all list the cast before the director - similar to Infuse. [Emby] [Jellyfin] […

If you look at the screenshots you just posted, you will see the director listed above the cast.

[image] Kofi_2000: If you look at the screenshots you just posted, you will see the director listed above the cast. Exactly. And on Plex it’s listed right below the title but it’s cropped out in James’ screenshot.

[Emby] Edit: It won’t let me upload more than one image as a “new user” but the director is listed above the cast on all three services you mentioned. It’s so bizarre that this is the hill Infuse wants to die on. It’s such an obvious missing feature from an otherwise great app. Even if you just ad…

[image] Kofi_2000: I don’t expect we’ll ever agree about this I’ve long argued that Infuse needs a “simple” options menu and an optional expanded “power users” menu to avoid scaring users with an overwhelmingly cluttered menu due to all the new features people are asking for. But alas, Infuse…

That could be helpful. But I still don’t understand why there seems to be a strange resistance to implementing what is the norm on every other platform, and for good reason. I don’t understand it. That the maker of a film should come first, and not last, in the credit list, is just basic common s…

I was looking for a director credit wishlist thread, and this is the only one I found. Is this really not even being looked into? Having the director somewhere in the main “details” section, just like James himself posted a couple of months back, would make the most sense (in addition to having the…

[image] Helvetesdorr: having to scroll through the entire cast/crew section to see the director just feels wrong it’s disrespectful to the filmmaker. director should come first among credits

For me the decision here isn’t whether to put the Director first or last in a scrolling list of faces. Director metadata should be listed alongside the Title and Description. It’s more important information, imo, than the film’s runtime, rating, etc and yet instead up being up there alonside that ve…

Director metadata should be listed alongside the Title and Description. It’s more important information, imo, than the film’s runtime, rating, etc and yet instead up being up there alonside that very info, it’s buried at the end of a list of actors. agree. Infuse’s stubbornness on this is bizarr…
