I installed version 1.0.6.4 on two of my Vero4K+ Kodi boxes and have enjoyed having the actor info readily at hand in the movie data. Installation went smoothly with no issues. I used the feature to clear out the Kodi data base and it worked flawlessly. I great update to the addin!

An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon has been posted on GitHub. This version, 1.0.7.1, contains the following feature enhancements:
• Added detection for Mezzmo metadata changes including tagline, rating, genre,
description, writer and more. Mezzmo metadata changes now sync to Kodi DB and
updates all Kodi DB data for a given movie when a Mezzmo change is detected.
• Added detection for audio codec changes
• Added user setting to disable Mezzmo change detection to speed up playlist
loading on slower devices or if you have a Mezzmo database that doesn't change
metadata very often. On slow devices you can enable change detection, sync
the latest Mezzmo changes to the Kodi DB and then disable change detection.
Default is enabled since most devices aren't impacted by the slight overhead.
When change detection is disabled new Mezzmo additions still sync to the Kodi DB
as long as Kodi DB actor information copy is enabled.
In addition support for Kodi 19 development is underway with a beta likely being available within a couple of weeks. If anyone is interested in testing please let me know.

• Detects file name / container changes for existing Mezzmo video items. This
can help when you might rerip a video file to another format but keep the Mezzmo
name the same.
This feature can be helpful if you are converting / standardizing your Mezzmo library into a common video format.
