I upgraded to Kodi 17.1 RC (the so called shitty build for Android) yesterday and I'm having serious issues with animated fanart. For a lot of movies I prefer the jpg movie fanart instead of the (low resolution) animated gif file. I was always able to do so, by selecting the dummy animated fanart file (None) on the server of R Schiks. This worked fine on Jarvis with a previous version of the skinhelperservice (the version that stored the gif files in the thumbnails folder). However on Krypton, skin helper service 1.1.8 behaves unexpectedly. I'm unable to replace the animated fanart gif file into the standard jpg file. After selecting the dummy file (None), nothing happens. Kodi keeps showing the animated fanart file. I found out that the dummy fanart file is not being downloaded to the script.module.metadatautils\animatedgifs folder.

This will be fixed in next update, thanks for reporting.
