Blueeyiz702 200 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Has anyone had any luck using a .Gif as Fanart? I can get some to load, and others will crush the whole system. There is a program called Kyra for Kodi you can use. It should solve most of your problems. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

PrincessClevage 168 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Ok, I assume these will never be an option in coverart plugin. How do I enable these as a backdrop for specific movies? Download Kodi client (will it install and run on windows OS?) Then launch Kodi app and look for kyra plugin ? So and app with in an app ? Then select movie and there will be an option for animated art? Perhaps a copy and paste and rename to backdrop for now is easiest Edited June 13, 2017 by PrincessClevage Link to post Share on other sites

PrincessClevage 168 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 These animated posters are .gif does emby support .gif format ? Is it possible to manually add these to emby? Link to post Share on other sites
FrostByte 2788 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I just tried adding the one for Ghostbusters and when you click Upload nothing happens. The page says jpg/png only. If that's so then maybe the drop down box should only allow you to see jpg/png files and not all image types when selecting Link to post Share on other sites
CBers 5479 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Save the animated gif to the movie folder as folder.gif. They should show in the web client, but don't think any other apps support them, other than Kodi with certain skins. Link to post Share on other sites

They should show in the web client, but don't think any other apps support them, other than Kodi with certain skins. Sorry didn't get back this sooner. Yes uploading them from the web client never worked. I always had to add them into the folder and re-scan my library. After which they would display. I got them to display using the web client (Firefox in my case), The theater app, android and ember as well. The only one that didn't work was WMC and I never thought that it would in the first place. Two weekends ago I got one of those "your sever has updated and needs to restart" things and after the restart nothing was working anymore. Kinda of disappointing. I was really enjoying creating fanart and posters to take advantage of this feature. It was relaxing and kinda fun to see what kinda of cooling things I could come up with for each one.

legallink 182 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Just an FYI. IOS displays the gif and I believe the android app does as well(although I can't confirm the latter. Have jus been told accordingly. Link to post Share on other sites

PrincessClevage 168 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) How do you get these to display in emby server metadata manager? When I try and add it says jpg/png only and these are gif extensions. I do not have metadata store in media location but in Emby database Edited July 14, 2017 by PrincessClevage Link to post Share on other sites

They used to show up fine in Emby Web Client, but it seems to have stopped working with recent releases. There is another thread about that somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites

PrincessClevage 168 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 @@LukeAs I understand it emby server and ET can already display these animated gifs, would it be much effort/possible to add the possibility to select these animated gifs in the sever metadata manager so we have a reasonably easy method to manually add?

legallink 182 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Sadly the more recent versions of iOS have also stopped supporting the animated gifs. Link to post Share on other sites
