Solved How to specifiy a local image for a TV Show Actor?
#1
I have read through and learned from the Wiki on how to have custom artwork for TV shows, especially ones that I have created. For example, I have created a catch-all "TV Show" titled Documentaries for all of the Documentaries in my library. When I go to the information page for for it, it properly shows the information in the the nfo file. However, I have not been able to figure out how to add custom "artwork" or "photographs" for the actors in the show. Is it possible to specify a local image, ie one on my media server, for an actor and have it used on this screen? I have read through the Artwork wiki, and it does not discuss this.

Thank you for your time,

Mark

Create an .actors folder as shown in the image... https://kodi.wiki/view/TV-Show_artwork#L...ow_Artwork

Add your image with the actors name. If the actor is Hugh Jackman, the image is named Hugh_Jackman.jpg

Thank you again @Karellen. That did it. I looked at that page several times before posting, and I missed it. I truly do appreciate your time and help. I have marked this as solved.
