For all those who want to show solidarity, here is a version with a less "disturbing" display of the Ukrainian flag

Hello,
Please guys,
MediaPortal forum is not a politic website.
So, to be neutral :
There was proposal for ukr flag (or not) and even, with a "less show" flag.
This was a clever post from catavolt to fix a possible problem.
Please, stop with agree, disagree, etc.. on this.
Otherwise, and, if posts will not be neutral (in all camps), they will be censored.
THX for respect this.

Hi folks,
Today I would like to tell you about a project that our Australian friend @Lichloathe has completed.
The project
It is about the display of actor pictures in MovingPictures.
Up to now, MovingPictures listed all names under the menu item "Actors" and showed the corresponding films by clicking on a name, but MovPic did not show any pictures of the actors.
@Lichloathe took this as an opportunity to create a collection of about 30,000 (!!!) actor pictures and asked me if I could make them publicly available for use in PVHD.
I am happy to comply with this request
Since this collection of pictures has a size of about 1 GB, I cannot of course make them available here in the forum.
Therefore, in agreement with our administrator @high, we have made a total of 6 ZIP packages available on our MediaPortal plugins page on Sourceforge.
If you download and install these packages, you will get a display like this in MovingPictures:
Procedure
A small "warning"
As described above, this is a lot of data - almost 1 GB - so downloading as well as copying the data may take some time, and of course 1 GB of free space is required on your HTPC.
I am looking forward to your comments
And of course a big THX to @Lichloathe for his great work

- Go to Mediaportal Plugins - Browse /MPEI/Actors_IMG at SourceForge.net
- Click on the individual ZIP files to download
- Then copy the contents of the ZIPs into the folder C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Actors
- Download the attached ZIP file with the necessary modified MovPic XMLs and copy them into your PVHD folder (overwrite).
- Restart MP, open MovingPictures and navigate to "Actors".

What is the way for showing Actors infos in MovPics ?

You have to configure it in the plugin itself: MPConfig > Plugins>MovingPictures>GUI Settings>Define Movie Categories:
In the new window "Menu Editor", add the categories you want

Ah yes, did'nt know it.
Adding node "Actors" in config
Does the trick !
But, I have 4771 items and about 150 MB downloaded, not 1 GB.
EDIT : OK, understood, the 6 7zip files (for the moment) need to be downloaded, not only one.

Yup, even sourceforge does not allow to post big files, so they were divided

I've been a Mediaportal and a Purevision user for years, generally without any problems. Today - the purevision skin seems to have stopped working for me.
When I load up MP, the menus are defaulting to original settings, missing the configured entries for Moving Pictures and MP-TV Series. When I tried to edit the settings, I get an unhandled exception error and can proceed no further.
So.. I redownloaded the latest skin version and removed and reinstalled.. and was able to configure the menus again. First time use... everything was fine. Second time... back to broken.
Any ideas/advice?
