I was also thinking about it, but the local images are available while EMM is running. Sometimes Plex or other media players refresh metadata, and EMM is not running at this time, actors' images will be removed. So I decided to use ImgBox.com
You're right, the images can be deleted from ImgBox.com (they say they won't), but it can happen on the original sites as well, they rename or move the images as well. In these cases, you can refresh the Actors' images in EMM.
The best solution would be to run our server to store images, but I don't want to spend my money on it.
I mean PHP server running on our own computer. For example after installing XAMPP on our computer. we store Actor images in a folder(Name:Actor) and move this to htdocs folder and host locally(user's own computer). You just need to give us the images, we will host them on our computer. For that we need to provide address like https://localhost:8080/Actor/Julia_Ann.jpg in Actor Thumb URL. If there is an option to add this address in your plugin, it will be grateful. Your plugin should fetch only actor/actress name from original site, but its relative link should be https://localhost:8080/Actor/name from original site.jpg. if you implement this then we can use images from vipergirls.to and planetsuzy.org
What about storing Actors / Actress images locally and hosting them on local server, instead of imagebox.com thumb URL. If you create a local address like https://localhost:8080/Actors/Actor Name.jpg, You can easily fetch images from imagesbox.com, what about if it is deleted. Or we can create our own Adult Movie Industry Actor / Actress thumb images and host them locally. We can store about 10,000 (whole Adult Movie Industry) images, as the thumb image size is very low.
