This might break non-animated gifs, but you can turn animated-gif support on by creating a plain text file called advancedsettings.xml and saving it in your userdata folder with the following:

Code:
<advancedsettings>
<videoextensions>
<add>.gif</add>
</videoextensions>
</advancedsettings>

I can confirm that this works.

EDIT: to explain: basically this is telling XBMC that .gif files are a type of video, since support is already baked into ffmpeg.

I try the advancedsettings.xml,but still no luck.

So what's the deal with this? Wanilton has been selling a custom kodi install with this working since Helix, clearly it works. I just attempted to replace a movie poster with a cinemagraph and no go. I then added to my advancedsettings:

Code:

<videoextensions>
<add>.gif</add>
</videoextensions>

and that didn't work....so I'm guessing that it hasn't been merged yet or am I doing something wrong?

He has a special Windows build kodi....

Why hasn't provide the source code?
Isn't a Kodi GPL violation?

Try movie78, because resource is native - Kodi Jarvis.

[chr0nic]

The code is built into Jarvis nightly(not a script.) Some skins it seems 1/2 working or not at all. Confluence works for both posters and animated backgrounds.
