maximilianh75 19 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Any chance to kodi assume the animated gif upload to the server a recognized like animated gif and not like common static gif When I upload and animated gif to server I can watch it in web browser well but update in kodi like a still picture
Angelblue05 4132 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) It's probably a Kodi thing. Emby for Kodi provides the http link to the artwork. That's the extent of the involvement. If the animated poster url looks fine in browser, then something else is at play Kodi-side (note, I don't really think animated gif support is fully there in Kodi) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited November 3, 2016 by Angelblue05

For that reason not animate. Maybe if add a feature request to import images from the cloud for example. I can have a folder with the same name as library and emby kodi addon import the file locally

Can you fix this
Angelblue05 4132 Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 Not at this time, there's no way to differentiate between animated posters and regular posters. I can make it force to request gif, but it would apply to all artwork which is not an appropriate solution either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Luke 42078 Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Ah yes that will also prevent the image from being converted. Then you can just look at the mime type that comes back
