Dont know what else to tell you. Kodi recognises all image file extensions so dont know why when you browse to local folder you cant select the gif file.
I've just added the Everest gif file to the movie so it definitely works.
Just to be clear as different skins may label it differently but dont use artwork downloader or any movie scraper. Use the option where you can manually change your poster or fanart and then browse to wherever the gif file is saved locally.

How many frames go into these gifs?
While I wouldn't want gifs on the fanart.tv site, what I would consider is if there were full size posters (jpgs) with say up to 120 frames.
Then we could reduce them down to a specific size and generate an animated gif from that, that would mean if a better option came about later (webp maybe) we could use that from the original frames directly, it would also be possible to create the same affect with css, by defining all the keyframes and animating it.

This is a great consideration you're offering.
If you allowed gif uploads that met your criteria and coincided with whatever the frame limitations are in Kodi (about 3 secs I think), more would be created and start becoming mainstream imo.
Furthermore, consolidating them at your site would open the door for Kodi and it's skins to scrape using png, jpg, or gif alternatives via artwork downloader already linked to fanart.tv.
Perhaps this could automate what it presently manual only.
Thanks for noticing the evolution of Kodi gif support and considering involvement.

seconds are not important
see here : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2159045
and i think its just a "kodi can handle gif" and not a real "kodi use gifs" ... until we dont get this status, its more a " lets play around with the new toy, until we get green lights "
and tbh ... with Projectors and 4k tvs gifs are not realy the future ...and better quality images would mean bigger filesizes...
but its just me... maybe something completely different will pop up one day

Like I said, we wouldn't accept uploading gifs on the site, but it would be possible to generate animated gifs from the jpgs with something like imagemagick directly on the server.
The benefit would be that someone could either download the generated animated gif (or webp if it becomes an option to create it with imagemagick) or the "full size pack" (as in all 120 jpg images) which a developer could then create the same affect with a little css magic but with much better quality.
