Just hope that by any splitting the content creators sharing my vision and supplied me with over 300 renderings in the last 4 weeks did not throw in the towel. My main supporters @manfeed & @Captain_Pike seem very interested in the API idea, but skeptical cause lack of concept (just like me) but i'm sure still ready to continue the discourse in the thread (just like me)

GitHub Kodi Rep PR is out (via issue Ticket)
Great thanks for @ronie & @manfeed given me advices!
https://github.com/xbmc/repo-resources/issues/76
I hope i did everything right there.
Whatever the decision, i accept it gladly, a positive result would of course be very enjoyable for all member like the addon.

A new version prepared for the try to get to the official kodi rep is now available (see download Post#1)
For greater uniformity and to save storage space for the repository, two new conventions have been introduced (under consideration that they are still High Quality PNG renderings):

Changelog:

v0.0.6:
- New convention: All images have now the same height of 1000 pixels. Aspect ratio and width remain variable (great thanks @manfeed for the unofficial introduction of the convention, now it's official).
- New convention: Max allowed image file size is now exactly 1mb = 1024kb (Please prevent file sizes under 300kb).
- EXIF data of all images removed/cleaned.
- Addon fanart added.
- 35+ actresses added (great thanks @manfeed & @Captain_Pike ).
- 5+ actresses exchanged cause better quality and uniformity (great thanks @manfeed & @Captain_Pike ).

EDIT: @manfeed  hope you will officially introduce your eyecandy future kodi skin features soon, regardless of how Team Kodi's repository decision goes.

I know an implementation concept is handy, but there’s also something like chicken & egg. Which was first?
It’s not costing me that much time to implement the API calls and add the PNGs to the database.
And if it’s available online more people can experiment.

When the animated gifs were available online there was more interest immediately. I’m expecting the same for this.

It caught my interest immediately when I watched your YouTube videos.

I know what you mean, but someone can not publish a movie trailer without already working on a movie. Ok, stupid comparison.
But you have my blessings, toi toi toi! 
Take the resource content of the latest version 0.0.6 where the resolution has been standardized uniform, see post #364.

I know, chrissix will reprimand me for a request, but I still risk it:
