If i query the database (sqlite or mysql) most of the thumbs of the actor/actress are empty.
In XBMC most of the thumbs are available. So i assume XBMC uses internal functions to store/query the thumbs of the actor/actres.
How can i get the thumbs or thumbsurl ?
Or maybe do you know an app to update the database with the right infos?

Ok. I found XBMC uses a CRC hash. I found an example to calculate the hash.
Now i'm able to get the hash from tvshows and movies.
It's the complete path to the file and that's the hash i need.
How do i calculate the actor hash? I tried to hash the actors name e.g. Nicolas Cage and i get for the hash 305cdd98. I searched the picture cache of XBMC and found Nicolas Cage. The name of the file is acf51424.tbn.
What i'm missing?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer, but you may find someone who can answer over in the skin development area. Skinners deal with this all the time.

You need the crc of the "actor" + <actorname> with lowercase letters.
In your example it is "actornicolas cage"
