Hi @Milhouse
Thank you for all your help and support.
I have been away and came back today to see if I can fix my issue. The challenge is that I have a RPi in the basement and a laptop that can not use my main WiFi router hence they are on a Netgear Extender which does not have an option to dedicate a static IP for the devices it connects. Therefore I can not use the options you mentioed in post #2077 http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2458718
So I deactivated the animated art option in my bedroom RPi2 (skin: Aeon MQ 7) and deleted the /animatedgifs/ folder, restarted and it loaded up creating the /animatedgifs/ but with no files in it.
Should I now delete my Textures13.db file in my RPi3 (server) and run texturecache again? If so, which string(s) should I run so that would be the best?
By the way I am interested in option #2 as well. Just for the future. How do I use a network resource as the location of the GIFs?
Thank you in advance.

1) ignore GIFs on the two clients other than 10.0.1.122 by using a suitable "cache.ignore.types" pattern (eg. ".*/animatedgifs/.*.gif$" should work, ignoring any gifs in the animatedgifs folder)
2) use a network resource as the location of the GIFs instead of burying them in the local Thumbnails folder, so that all your clients can physically access (and therefore cache) them
