Would adding 'actorart' to the AB setting 'additional art types for movies' accomplish anything or is the functionality simply not there?
Hi i am the maintainer of the
Actresses PNG's resource addon
Your thought is good, but still a dream of the future. Do not mess that up that the Actress PNG's resource addon is working complete independent and has currently nothing to do with the actress artwork in KyraDB.
The problem is that Artwork Beef is for artwork type images, but the actress png's are resource images. Artwork types images and resource images are a great difference in function and handling. Currently it's the only practicle way for kodi to handle the actress images as resources.
And resources in resource addons aren't designed for scraping, only for installing.
The actress images in KyraDB are currently nowhere used or implemented. They are a offer for developers for future projects to get the actress images also via API.
Maybe for the first scrapeable and manageable resource addon.

Difference artwork types and resources:
Artwork types images: poster, fanart, clearlogo, clearart, ... -> allocated to a movie or tvshow
Resource images: studio logos, mpaa ratings, country flags, genre icons, genre fanart, ..., and also my offerings the actress png's and director thumbs -> storaged on a seperate location and allocated only to a value
