Custom posts query does not work on index with paged var

As I said in this forum topic: ​http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-posts-query-does-not-work-on-index-with-paged-var?replies=4, also maybe related to this: #21417.

The problem is the use of query_posts() here. You should hook into the pre_get_posts, since query_posts() is too late.

Thanks @ocean90 it worked like a charm. Here's the code I used:

function nm_index_query( $query ){

	$paged = intval( get_query_var('paged') );

	if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		$query->set( 'post_type',  array('post', 'movie', 'director', 'actor'));
		$query->set( 'paged',  $paged);
	}
	
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'nm_index_query' );
