Cast/Crew Order - Director

I really agree! The director should be much more prominent here. Really hope Infuse adds this.

Not having this information is so incomprehensible for an application that has all the metadata…

It makes so much sense to have the information displayed as Plex does.

I was considering switching from Plex/Kodi to Infuse on Apple TV but this is for sure a blocking point.

Normally, a movie has only one director, so even the people that don’t care about the director only have to scroll a tiny little bit to get to the actors. But people like us who are interested in the director have to scroll a huge distance to get to the director

It seems ridiculous that the auteur, the filmmaker, comes last in the list after everyone else, when they should come first. C’mon, Infuse, this is basic.

I would even remove the director from the “cast and crew” list and put him above the plot section

I suggested that in the past, but without result. Infuse is the only platform I’ve ever encountered that doesn’t give directors top billing… and they give them bottom billing instead. it’s bizarre.

Some users prefer to see the actors first. It’s all personal choice. :wink:

scrolling past one director does not obscure the top-billed actors from the list. but putting the director at the end of the list makes it a chore to look and see whose work a given film is. The most basic question: who made this film?, should be easy to answer.

Every other platform out there puts the director up top. As the recent poster says, “above the plot section”

Gotta pipe up here. Director should always come first.

Infuse shouldn’t use opening credit sequence as a model… they should use closing credit sequence.

Not a matter of taste or personal choice, every movie lists director first in the closing credits, because the film is the director’s vision. Top dog get top billing.

Kind of a dealbreaker for me too

Actually it is a matter of choice. Many prefer the current arrangement.

So couldn’t we at least get a setting?

For movies and TV shows or just one?

More important for movies

The most important thing to know about a film: who made it. Strange that there is discussion about this. Filmmaker is more important than anyone else. But their name is at the last of the list so must scroll to see it. Only infuse.
