Is it me or the animated posters are of low quality (pixels) even if we set the manually (and using local files?) This only started happening after the skin helper implementation, cause i select local gifs and they become pixelated.

That is not possible, the script doesn't touch the actual files, it just references them. How they are displayed completely depends on the skin and offcourse the artwork quality itself.

With so many people implementing metacritic, popcorn and rotten tomatoes on their mods, can you implement a method to update those ratings without a need to rescrape the entire database?

The ratings are automatically refreshed when you restart Kodi

Thanks for the reply and
Disregard the first question mate

Regarding the ratings:

You mean even IMDB ratings are getting updated? Well...they are not, cause aeon mq7 has view mods which display ratings centered (rotten tomatoes, meta critic, Imdb) and the skin itself has its own imdb display of ratings (check this to understand):

On the very first picture of that thread, you see the discrepancies in the number of votes between the imdb ratings ? Middle and top right. The only one which is updatable is IMDB TOP RIGHT and via an addon. My ratings are not refreshing mate. In order to do so (and only for imdb as i said) i need to use an addon.

Which ones are you meaning that are being refreshed? Cause IMDB surely aint :S
