Yeah I have that checked... wonder why it's not working anymore for me. I have the fanart one checked as well, and it works on some of my movies. They probably just don't all have them yet. But the posters used to work for me when I first installed the skin. I'll try switching off and back on or something and see if that fixes it.
OK, one movie I know definitely worked was Equalizer. I tried to bring up the Context Menu to edit the animated art. It showed there was a .gif file, but when I selected it to use it popped up an error about Youtube...

Does Kodi and/or the skin use Youtube to search for an animated poster if one doesn't exist locally? If so, there's probable an error somewhere in the programming. Will the skin/Kodi work if there IS a local file? If so too, maybe I'll just go that route and try to find them to add. Is there an addon that will scan your library and autmatically download these for me?
I did a lot more experimenting today. One of the nice things about having a day off. :)
Youtube continues to pop up the error on screen EVERY TIME I go in to try and edit the Animated Fanart. BUT... I can edit the fanart, and pick the poster I want to use. I'm assuming these are stored locally on my Pi is how it's able to find them. I'm not sure how well it would work stored remotely in say each movie's /fanart folder on my server (SMB).
On the negative side though, I've had to disable it. Seems it was a huge system resource hog once I had about 10 of them turned on through manually editing. Once I hit that threshold, Kodi would crash and restart everytime I tried to open up the MOVIES home menu. I couldn't get anywhere. It would act like it's trying to load the information into a buffer/cache or something before rendering my list on screen. Once it was full and couldn't run anymore it crashed. I had this happen before when I tried to run Jarvis (not using this skin, just Jarvis and Aeon 6). That's why I ultimately decided to just skip upgrading to Jarvis, thinking it was Kodi and the flaky beta version of the OpenELEC OS. But seeing it now, with a fully officially released version of LibreELEC too, and Jarvis 16.1, makes me realize it's probably just a limitation of the capabilities of the Pi. Especially since a lot of other people don't have any issues (most likely running on a Windows PC or other device like Android). Perhaps in some future version of my setup I'll have better luck.
It's neat to see, but not worth all the crashing it involved.
