Why aren’t the DVD covers here helpful? Can you not import custom covers? I don’t use Kodi, but I do use Plex and Plex’s scanners pick up a myriad of poster art including some that are distinctly Despecialized Edition.

Plex can also import custom covers from a local drive or from a url. Can Kodi not do that? If the DVD labels posted here only have the whole label (front to back) available, then it’s just a matter of cropping the image to include only front cover. You can do that with GIMP or MSPaint.

I’m not sure why you can’t crop an image yourself and import it. Can Kodi seriously not do that?

I’m not sure why Kodi has a problem displaying custom covers.

EDIT: Just read this thread: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/id/54295
…oh. You mean Despecialized fanart (meaning background images), not just posters. Yeah, there ought to be more of those made.
