I have just been messing around with the new EMM 1.3.0.11, and set the actors image resolution to the highest, and it is working perfectly! A VERY nice addition, Thank You!
Now.......
I am going to update the actors I have presently, with the newer high resolution ones. MANY of the actor images that EMM download in the past are like 50x50 pixels, and look just God awful in the new skins. After deciding to do this, I noticed that EMM does not have an option to scrape just the actors images.
So I put 3 movies that I have ALL images for into a scrape folder. I then deleted the actor folder in each of the 3 test movies, and had EMM "Scrape Media\All Movies\Automatic\All Items" It did download the actors as expected, BUT it took a LONG time.
It seemed that It was doing other stuff than just the actors. I then ran the scan again, knowing that ALL information had to be there as it just did a scrape. It took a minute and a half to scrape the 3 movies that have ALL information, images, and trailer already. (6 Meg DSL Connection) Shouldn't EMM look at the folder and see that everything is there already, and just move on? What exactly is it doing, taking all that time, when all of the information is there already?
So on to the request. Can a new addition to just scrape the actor photo's be implemented? Either in the tree like "Scrape Media\All Movies\Automatic\actor Images" or in the custom scraper section. Either would work.
Again, I can not thank the EMM team enough for keeping this project alive and well! ! ! ! ! Thank You!
