Yes XBMC will support (maybe already support) animated GIF.

Upgraded to 13.1 from Beta 4, fucked something up horribly and spent the last hour trying to un-delete (delete done via network share) of my Roaming folder contents meaning I lost all my thumbs/fanart changes and everything. Haven't panicked like that in a while. Restored with old Roaming contents and lost about 60 odd movies, all covers and changes.. That one got the ol' heart racing.
Anyway.
I manage to restore everything to normal, thank Christ, and the only casualty has been a bug when playing music full screen: (Bottom right hand corner)
As you can see, the duration bar is over-lapping with the time. This was fine before I managed to mess things (the upgrade) up, if someone can help it would be really appreciated, I'm going to resume banging my head against the wall in frustration that everything I do, I manage to screw up royally.
Thanks guys.

Thanks for the advice and taking the time to screen shot your setup, but I'm not too keen on having my movies in separate folders. I backup the roaming folder contents. [read: userdata] Using that I can clean install 100 times over and just copy the contents to the new roaming folder and pick up exactly where I left off.

Use individual folders. Export your library to individual files often. Downlaod and manipulate all your extra art yourself. That is if you want a clean, sleek and impressive looking library.

I manage most of my thumbs/fanart locally, but I go to the specific movie and choose "browse" and then pick the thumb I want. It then gets backed up to the userdata folder and I don't need to keep a copy of it anywhere.
I won't go into the why, maybe some of you will put 2 and 2 together, but to move 500+ movies from where they are at the moment would cause major problems for another program I use and I would need to re-check them to the new folder, which, would take way, way too long.
I haven't come across a single error not having movies in specific folders in the 4 odd years I've used XBMC. That being said, I can definitely see the advantages.

I'm thinking of doing local artwork. If I use file2folders how will this effect xbmc?
Will movies need to be re-added again? Or will xbmc pick up just the folder structure has changed?

I've used files2folders and it's currently rescraping everything. 600+ movies so not too bad.
Although I've selected use local files it's still downloading artwork to the app data folder.
Any suggestions? My movies are stored on my NAS and in individual folders now.
