Cast not available in kodi

Hi all,
Just a question :
I used the TMDB DB to scrap movies in Kodi... It works really fine but yesterday, i need to update a media DB and i loose all the cast information : Now, instead of the heads and names of the casting i've a blank frame "cast not available"
I tried the TMDB python scrapper, and the cast came back... But, i've an other issue : The postart are massively in english and i need them in french... I know i can change them but it's really time consuming.
With the TMDB scrapper and the right settings, it worked perfect... Did you do something wrong to loose the cast in the API for kodi ????
If someone had this kind of problem or an idea to solve, it will be very appreciate !
Cheers
Mister-Y

Thanks. I was about to post an example from the guest star list. At least I know I'm not going crazy. '-) We've already pushed out a fix that falls back to character_name if character isn't available, and I probably won't revert that for now.

Head over to the Kodi forums for answers please.

@olympia A deploy is going out right now that I think will put the
episode_numberfield above the crew. You'll have to wait for some cached items to expire but they'll start showing up soon. Let me know if that helps. I've left a comment in the code so that anyone who comes across it in the future will understand why it is not like all of the other field definitions. Heh.@KarellenX @pkscout I've restored the field name back to
character, this one was my bad, I didn't catch it in my testing. Just an erroneous field name. Sorry.Reply by KarellenX
