All of the posters are animated. None of them are static. I think it's pretty cool to have so many to choose from since we are all unique and prefer one over another. I know personally I have a hard time selecting because all I'll ever use is one.
The fanart is what's static. I'm set to use 12 rotating every couple seconds. Those too can be animated if they were created and some have been. My machine isn't powerful enough to take advantage of them though so I totally respect the lean and mean concept which I apply in other respects to my Kodi install. I'd rather see 12 different static images rotating quickly than one animated image tbh because I get more info about the title.
The static fanart provided here is imo much more appealing than what scrapers provide especially when it comes to reminding me what the title is about. I have a large collection. Some titles I don't revisit for years and many are obscure but worthy of saving. To familiarize myself when surfing the library, I rely on fast rotating images to remind me of what I'm focused on preferring actual movie snippets. The seconds it takes to present me visual memorable moments from a title (that I previously selected anticipating this refamiliarizing) is far quicker than watching the trailer... which I do from time to time also. Same with the synopsis, actors, etc. I use a custom skin (Aeon) with a MyFlix view. This presents all of the data and artwork I find necessary and most relevant in plain view while cruising titles without having to enter various details pages. So for me, it really speeds up navigating my library. I simply don't have the capacity to retain knowledge for all titles and/or episodes and welcome the reminders I set up for myself.
Many, many times scrapers consider the same fanart picture at different sizes separate images and so they get repetitive. When 'customs' are posted here along with animated posters, they compliment each other and also make it easier to manually replace the 'junk' and different sized dupes scrapers already automatically deposited. If it were not for the fanarts posted here along with the posters, I honestly wouldn't hassle it. The majority of my collection has more junk fanarts than I care to admit. Because the process is completely automated, I can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
It's too cumbersome for me to hunt down or 3rd party replacement artwork. But when a user such as @
Klatue provides it neatly packaged here, 99% of the legwork is already done. Also, we seem to click on images that are truly memorable assisting my navigation.
All of this is why I 'Like' just about everything he posts (and other folks too), remain loyal, and encourage his continued participation. I'd bet others do too... they just refuse to learn or practice that 'like' button and don't understand the importance of it. It was created for a reason - to gauge ones contributions and accumulate these small tokens of appreciation so that others can visually see how many have appreciated a particular user - it's an easy way of saying thank you without posting "Thank you".
All of this said, you both deserve many more rep points than you have. Both of you are well respected great contributors and without you... the place wouldn't be the same.
