Unfortunately the maintenance tool does not provide the option to exclude the animated gifs folder. It takes a while to see the animated gifs appearing when going to my movies library, since Kodi has to download the gif files again. Does it make sense to move the animated poster and fanart files to my external harddrive (where my movies are stored) and instruct Kodi to use these gif files instead of the ones that are stored in the (default) thumbnailsfolder? If it does, do I have to rename the files into animatedposter and animatedfanart? Any advise is welcome. Regards
The new version of skin helper tools that will be on the repo asap will tore the images in another location so no need to change anything.
Note that the images MUST be local and not stored on a remote path because otherwise they will not be animated anymore.
Next version of skin helper (the current beta) stores the images inside the addon_data.
