Was bored so played around real quick with some alternative animation for the overlay.

one is a mod of existing, other is a variation - use / modify / ignore / etc as you like.

btw - Kodi 17 supports animated PNG files (need to use .apng file ext not .png) and I am not sure which version started support for animated GIF's but I know Jarvis does for sure (and those after).

have included frames as well as example in both apng and gif (animated) formats

Enjoy,

Cool, I can try to think of a way to make animation selectable and include these as optional

Maybe consider just making the overlay portion of your script custom skinnable?

Lots of scripts include a "default" resources/skins/default/ under which is the media, custom skin xml, etc to use unless a skin includes a customized set of resources

See service.nextup.notification, trakt ratings dialog, etc for examples

One step further could be to look in userdata/addon_data/ for custom resources

Or even make the path a setting:

Code:

path_setting = addon.getSetting('xml_folder').decode('utf-8')
        addon_path = addon.getAddonInfo('path').decode('utf-8')
        # if a path is set, try to use it and fallback to the default if it fails
        if path_setting:
            try: self.dialog = ProgressDialog.Window(DIALOG_XML, path_setting)
            except: self.dialog = ProgressDialog.Window(DIALOG_XML, addon_path)
        # otherwise use the default
        else:
            self.dialog = ProgressDialog.Window(DIALOG_XML, addon_path)
        self.dialog.show()

But to just give users options over images to display look at:

Anyway... hehe sorry for writing a book

Just found your script the other day and like it so thanks - works well so far.

Tend to use subs late at night so I can keep volume down for rest of the folks who can sleep

My playing around with the animation images was primarily just a mix of boredom and insomnia.

Honesty keeping that as is - is fine by me.. you focus on the more useful requests, etc

Hehe

Thanks again!
