ok great, so for someone like myself who is only using these on a 65" tv setup they really aren't high res enough to use it seems. there are a few that still look good though.

Can't do much about that. I am already happy people take the time to create them and make them available for others.

@rschiks,

I like what you have done and thank you very much for the time you've put into it, especially the database side.

I've spoken to Marcel who owns the skin.helper addon and asked if he could integrate your json db and return the posters and he has done that now here.

I apologise I didn't ask you prior to Marcel, I didn't realize he would do it so fast when I asked if it was possible to integrate your db. If this is a problem then please let me know, but hopefully it will be beneficial to all as you can now make a call to get either of the posters for a movie if they exist in the db.

I haven't tested marcels call yet, will do that at the weekend.

Mike.

No problem. Besides posters there are also backgrounds in the database. Do you also make them available?



There are actually a lot more animated backgrounds than posters to be found. I hope this will change a little bit in the future.

Just to verify. I see in the description:

Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.AnimatedPoster) Animated (gif) Movie poster image -if available-
Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.AnimatedPoster.Thumb) Thumb/small version of the animated poster

Is the property SkinHelper.AnimatedPoster the original version (non resized version)?

[Mike_Doc]

Hi,

Looks like posters only at the moment, after I've tested that I'll ask if Marcel can add the same for backgrounds as well.

Looking at the change, yes AnimatedPoster is the *original* file and thumb is the resized.

I'm using the same Jarvis build on my pc and android box(minix u1), animated gifs work fine on my pc but wont run on the android box. Gifs are stored in the same directory as kodi.

i am on Kodi 16 and using the xperience1080 skin , anyway to get these poster to work with it at all ?

The database with animated gifs Kyra for Kodi is using is available for everyone.
I have added over 170 animated covers and 280 backgrounds from movies to it (and more be added. I still have around 200 on my HD to process). Every animated gif is renamed to it's imdb number (themoviedb.org number is also available). The original as an resized version is available.

Since I only use it in the app, the database is in json format. You can find it at this location: http://www.consiliumb.com/animatedgifs/movies.json

An entry looks like this:



You can construct the url to the image using the baseURL (http://www.consiliumb.com/animatedgifs) and the image name:

An example (resized version):

Code:

http://www.consiliumb.com/animatedgifs/tt1074638_poster_0.gif

An example (original version):

Code:

http://www.consiliumb.com/animatedgifs/tt1074638_poster_0_original.gif

I could upload a .zip file but it will be around 1.2 GB in size. Quite a lot to download.

I have downloaded those gifs from everywhere. If data is incorrect or you are the creator, just leave me a message and I will correct it.
If you have an addition, please let me know.

I hope I can make some people happy, there are really a lot of cool animated gifs made!

Hey , how can I get the GIFs I have to work on Kodi 16 ? Thank you

Sorry, can't help you with that. Did not experiment with it in a Kodi skin myself yet (just for the app).

Another 65 cinemagraphs have been added to the database. The database now has a total of 172 animated posters and 488 animated backgrounds.

@rschiks: This is really great! Thanks a lot for sharing

I added support for animated movie posters in the Rapier skin (for Jarvis and Krypton) using your database and script.skin.helper.service. This will be available in the next development update.

Great to hear!

Hopefully people will come with new animated movie posters! There are more animated backgrounds than posters.
So, if you have a great animated movie poster, please post it!
