Download here -> Download Install and implementation instructions on post #2
Showcase on Marvel Stuff:


Got a lot of feedback on the Character Poster Set Project. Also some Skins already implemented and it's also part of the artwork type wiki. -> https://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork_types#pos...oster_sets
Thanks!
Tons of well cared sorted catalogized content is already there -> https://youtu.be/PpaNeO2JnPk
Although it is already available in the KyraDB API, it is still rather uncertain whether @rmrector  will implemented in the near future so that it can be used in bulk/batch without manual paste copy.
Lot's of feedback that members liked it but also too much work the manual copy paste procedure for each movie.
Now i made a prototype of an easy to use addon if the codes are in the skin.
In contrast to the original project, where the posters are part of the movie as artwork type, here they are part of the movie and at the same time part of an actor in it.
It similar like the .actors folder aka actor icons but cause this is hardcoded in kodi core it's bypassed via Resource Addon.

The experimental addon has some nice features includes wich need to be tested and also the code is functional on other Kodi versions and builts (i am still on 17.6)
It would be a big fail if i port all the content fitting to Recource Content and then a have to change afterwards the concept. So i provide now for testing a basice Set about 50+ newer AAA movies.

Features
  • As in Video on top, mainly for DialogVideoInfo: Showing Character Posters matching to a specific movie to a specific actor on focus.
  • Could alternative also used as Multiimage Sideshow everywhere.

Special Features

Multiimage:
  • There are cases when one actor is playing multiple roles also character poster avaiable. The addon is prepared to also support that. Look Showcase -> https://youtu.be/3ItvBXwq-yU
Multiple Choosing Options:
Would be much appreciated to everyone with basic .xml knowledge for testing out and give feedback on the functional side of content preparation.
