Very nice share. Thank you! I'd like to snag a few of your poster.gif's. Selecting the image opens a new drive.google.file window showing the image. By right clicking the image, I'd 'save as' except I think the resolution quality wouldn't be the same? Instead, I select the d/l button but it does nothing? Just opens a blank window with the address but nothing else is present? I assume it should pop-up the 'save to' dialogue but it doesn't do anything. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, the d/l button works correctly now. Learned a hard lesson though. Right clicking the image and using 'save picture as' (because the d/l button wasn't working) left me with a bunch of 291x455 images that have already been painstakingly added to KODI instead of your actual 320x500's. Subsequent d/l's (now that the d/l button is working) result in 320x500 as you stated. I'm not complaining and this isn't your fault. It's mine for being impatient and proceeding before giving you a chance to correct. Most of your images I already had but I did notice you stretched yours after cropping some text. This ruins the aspect ratio but tbh, I'd rather have incorrect aspect ratios than the text so I replaced 87 of them. I will probably begin the replacement process again here shortly.
Replacing them manually into KODI is a complete nightmare. There are a lot of steps to do it correctly. It takes a long time to do one. Yet, I really like animated posters and it's worth it to me. Thanks for your offerings. If you update your database with any new images, perhaps you could update us here with the titles you add.
Perhaps rschiks could add your images to the eventual database that is under creation. They wouldn't exactly be duplicates since the text is removed although the aspect ratio is off on some of them. Users could make their own decision but at least have choices. This way automating them into KODI would be MUCH less cumbersome. Thanks again to all of you for sharing and maintaining.
