This add-on notifies you of stinger scenes in the current movie. It pops up a notification when the credits roll (or at least towards the end).
Stringer scene notification can now be installed from the official Kodi add-on repository, under "Services", for Kodi 16 Jarvis and up.
It uses tags to identify movies that have a stinger, which can be automatically added by the Universal Movie Scraper from TheMovieDB, as aftercreditsstinger and duringcreditsstinger.
If there are no chapters on your media file, the add-on searches for them on the ChapterDb. If chapters are available, the notification pops up when the last chapter starts, which is generally the credits, otherwise 10 (configurable) minutes before the movie ends.

Adding tags
To add these tags to new movies automatically, use a movie scraper that can set tags from The Movie Database. The Universal Movie Scraper can be configured with a setting.
If your existing movies don't already have these tags, you can avoid rescraping them with a handy once-off option in the add-on settings under "Advanced", "Grab stinger tags from TheMovieDB for all movies", which will run through your library and grab these tags for all movies from The Movie Database. New movies should still be tagged by the scraper as described above.
The tags can also be added with nfo files, if that's your style.
Skinning
It has a simple skinnable window, and has the option to use a simple notification message. The built in control labels are id="100" for the stinger type (During credits, After credits) and id="101" for the full message.
The window property stinger is set on the window fullscreenvideo when the video starts. Possible values for stinger are "duringcreditsstinger", "aftercreditsstinger", "duringcreditsstinger aftercreditsstinger" if the movie has both, and "None". The property is only set when a movie in the library is playing, and empty in all other cases.
Gotchas
Movies don't always start the last chapter when the credits begin rolling, so the notification won't be timed right for a handful of movies.
