1 year ago Ooh thanks for pointing this out...
I didn't realise that there was code for that in that plugin as I did not develop it and have never used it...
Cody has mentioned it to me yesterday to try and get it's iafd functionality sorted...
If it is possible I will try and get all the agents to be able to load alternative cast pictures...
Cheers

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The IAFD website has recently been refusing head-shot image requests with http response code 403 "Forbidden". Other times IAFD doesn't have an actor's head-shot or sometimes it has the wrong actors head shot. The result is several actors no longer have head-shots when a film is scraped. This is the result of the source website denying requests and not the fault of a particular agent.
Describe the solution you'd like I would like to have a location (like a sub-directory) defined somewhere where one could load actor head shot images. When the Plex agent goes to associate a head shot with an actor in the movies cast, the agent would first check this location for an image. If it is found, the agent would use that image, instead of requesting an image from IAFD.
A nice to have would be to store the images received from IAFD in this location so that future requests would not need to go to IAFD. This should reduce the web traffic that is causing IAFD to deny image requests.
Describe alternatives you've considered Here's an example of how the Gay Adult NFO Importer agent does this. The Gay Adult NFO Importer agent allows one to provide a URL to search for actor head-shots. By setting up a local web server and setting this agent to use http://localhost/nfo as the URL. The Gay Adult NFO agent will load actor head-shots from images named Firstname_Lastname.jpg for example if the actor is listed as "Johnny Rapid" in the cast list in the nfo file for a film then the URL for the actor image is http://localhost/nfo/Johnny_Rapid.jpg.
However since not everyone can set up a local web server and there already is a lot of work done to read files in directories under the _PGMA directory. I think it would probably be best to create a directory under _PGMA and allow one to put head shot images there under some kind of naming scheme, like the NFO naming scheme.
Additional context I'll be happy to help test or contribute to this feature any way I can.
