Congratulations for the work of explanation ultra complete!

I wish there had been only one usable tutorial in the animated poster thread.
Then i would not have to find out everything myself for a long time and in thread there would not be every few weeks repeatedly asked the same noob questions.

Some great sources for animated backgrounds:

https://waxtown.tumblr.com

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cinemagraphs/new/

https://technoir.nl

If you like them to be added to the database, just post them in this thread.
Once a week (sometimes twice) I will go through all the threads (characterart, animated posters/backgrounds, actresses) and add them to the database.

On https://giphy.com is also sometimes interesting stuff.

The following posts i haven't found or created myself!
All following was collected by @blueeyiz702 on his website https://blueeyiz702.wixsite.com/posters

I only posts arts wich aren't already in @rschiks KyraDB or where resolution or quality differs.

EDIT:
Unfortunately, I realized (too late) that almost all images were stretched with a bulk/batch (16:9, 500x281). That's why I deleted the following posts (& removed by TK mods) and stopped searching there.
Although I'm also not a fan of ultra-widescreen content, but even less for stretched content.

Nice work chrissix and rschiks!!

They look awesome.

Do you have any ideas on how best to get the file size down? I've tried to create a gif, but have only managed to get it down to 2.5mb. Unfortunately I'm limited to free online programs, which likely aren't ideal.

Also, if anybody uses MySQL like myself, I have managed to get these working with a dirty hack by editing the skin.
My main machine holds Kodi and all the media, but I have MySQL to other computers (this won't work if your movies are stored on a remote drive).
In your preferred skin, find the image container that is relevant to the poster/fanart display - likely to include $INFO[ListItem.Icon]
Copy the image control and paste it again directly after, so you have two images overlapping each other.
Change the location of the 2nd image controls texture to <texture>$INFO[ListItem.FolderName,N:\Movies\,\animatedposter.gif]<\texture> changing N:\Movies\ to your local drive location.
This is also assuming that you have movies in individual folders.
It's obviously not ideal as it overlays the original poster with the animated poster, but at least it works!!
