--- Quote from: lepigaja on December 22, 2012, 09:11:21 pm ---I experience a bug for couple weeks, it might be new, even for you. Actually, when I review a movie, I sometimes click on an actor link and wish to update his/her filmography. Then, when I get back to the movie from where I started, this actor is missing form the actors list for that movie. Then I have to update info for this movie and the actor reappears......... Do not know how to refresh data for many of actors as I wish from time to time, without losing them in some movies. I have all newest plugins, and XP with SP3.

Welcome.

It's always done that. I'm not sure why—it is annoying. Maybe nostra can do something about it in the next update, or explain why it is so (maybe he has in the past, but I don't remember...)

lepigaja:
So, we must patient. Thanks, anyway.

nostra:
Can you provide exact examples of movies/actors that produce such behavior? Also tell me what plugin is used to get information for the movies and people.

rick.ca:
Well Dr. nostra, it's like this...I'm not suggesting this is any quantum physics phenomenon, but it's clearly the sort of behaviour that vanishes quickly once such questions are asked. Before responding that it still happens frequently, I decided to test to see if I could elaborate (although I've never seen a pattern). I had no difficulty finding a few (I might have tried 10 records to find them), then decided to take before and after screen shots to illustrate. Naturally, it didn't happen again (I checked about 50 records). :P

I use only IMDb plugins to update people. They're both up-to-date.

I'll try to remember to update this if things change. Maybe if I can do the test and get the screen shots without looking I'll capture the elusive behaviour. ;)

nostra:
It seems like I need to implement some kind of Large Hadron Collider to detect this bug  8)
