I happen to have this gif http://i.imgur.com/t0WXJkb.gifv as the JJ's tv show background. It works fine as you see here: http://i.imgur.com/J1w979s.png but it only 'plays' (not sure if it's the correct verb) the first frames, like 2 or 3 secs and then starts again, instead of going the full 15 seconds. I can't seem to find anything in the skin settings that changes it. I'm using the 6.70 update. Thanks in advance for your reply.
I *think* but I'm not sure it's a Kodi limitation. I just did some testing and noticed the same behaviour with your gif file.
Besides that, be aware that the gif files (every frame of it) need to be loaded in memory so it's probably not a very good idea to have this kind of full length gif files. Again, I'm not sure it's indeed a limitation but I strongly think it is.
