Hi spiff, I was wondering if it is possible yet to allow the <thumb> tag for an actor to contain a network path for the thumb? The only reason I would prefer this is that it would allow single or multiple images for the same actor (MC for example uses actorid from imdb, or Numeric ID for images from TVDB. This not only allows multiple thumbs for each actor if needed aka tvdb, but also to select a higher quality image, some of the default imdb actor images are awful.

The biggest advantage is that for most instances each thumb would only need to be stored once (Twice if you include xbmc)

eg.
<actor>
<name>Charlize Theron</name>
<role>Mary Embrey</role>

</actor>
