Actor images - m.savazzi - 2013-06-01

Question: does XBMC save the actor thumbs? if yes where?

XBMC stores these images only in their own cache.
When you export the database a hidden folder in the movie folder will be created.


RE: Actor images - m.savazzi - 2013-06-02

Can we create them from Ember?
If we save the thumbs in the hidden folder will XBMC use them or is a waste of time and space?


RE: Actor images - DanCooper - 2013-06-05

Ember allready support downloading of actor-thumbs. And yes, XBMC use this images instead of links in NFO's.
XBMC create thumbs and save it to the normal cache like all other images.
The scraping/db-build in XBMC is mutch faster with pre-downloaded actor images.
But Ember don't support actor images in tv shows (is is commented out).

not clear Smile can I use ember to get them? if yes how?

Activate actor thumbs in image settings and rescape movie.

In 1.4, there will be a separate function for it ;-)

Im pretty sure you can custom scrape the actors once you have set ember to create a folder/cache for the images automatically - I am in the process of doing this (over 2500 films) - I will get back to you on progress (have just moved house so 'tinkering time' is at a minimum atm LOL)
