Skin Info Service

Provides rich media info and artwork to skins.

Description

Skin Info Service provides skins with rich metadata and artwork beyond what Kodi exposes by default. It adds extra properties such as ratings from multiple sources, artwork, stream details, and cast and plot information for movies, TV shows, episodes, sets, music videos, artists, and albums, drawing on both your library and online data. It also includes a tool to find and add animated GIF posters to your library.
