Hentaidude.xxx favorites issue

Prerequisites

• I have searched the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• I have read the documentation on how to create a debug log file.

Description

On hentaidude.xxx, in my web browser, it shows the main title (no episode #) and then under that the episodes list. In the addon, it shows an actual episode title like "boobies episode 3" and when you click on that, it shows an episode list (episode 1, episode 2, etc) You can only bookmark the titles named ""episode 1", "episode 2" to the addon's favorites list under hentaidude. If you try to bookmark the main, misnamed episode, in this case boobies episode 3, the only option given for bookmark is "main menu" which then sticks it with the name "boobies episode 3" under the menu containing "sites", "favorites", etc.. When you click on that, it does give you the episode list.
What I'd like to be able to do is bookmark the main title like "boobies" under the favorites "hentaidude" section and then when you click on that, it would show, "episode 1", "episode 2", etc.. This way it functions just like the web site interface.
BTW, I actually like this organizational structure better than having to bookmark every episode. It's much cleaner.
Thanks.

The "Episode X" label next to the titles indicates the show's most recent episode. This label also appears on the website beneath the rating.
Titles cannot be added to Favorites because they are folders containing episodes, and Cumination does not support adding folders to the Favorites list.
However, you can create a "Custom List" from the main menu, such as "Hentaidude Favorites," and add titles to this list using the "Add Item to..." option.

Ok, but does this mean that if I Add an item like "Boobs 3" to a custom list like "Hentaidude Favorites" and then "Boobs 4" comes out later on and I don't remember if I had added a previous title like "Boobs 3" so I then add "Boobs 4", I'll end up with a bunch of "duplicate" folder entries that I do not need since I really only need 1 folder entry for "Boobs" instead of being able to just add "Boobs" (without the episode designation) and then if I'd try to add "Boobs" in the future it would tell me it already exists? Or, doesn't the duplicate check work on folders, but only on episodes?
If the duplicate check does work, can't you just strip the "episode x" off of the episode entirely when attempting to "add item to" so all you end up with is the actual story title like "Boobs" in the 'bookmark' and thereby take advantage of the folder/episode structure of the website?

On a different note, pertaining to the thumbnails not showing up when a jpg is name something different, do you know if anyone opened an issue with the Kodi developers since it worked in v 20 but not now in 21?
This issue also exists on some titles on hentaidude.xxx just like it does for all titles on hentai moon.

Added duplicate check and removed episode from names in lists: [5fca5f6]

I don't know if the Kodi team is aware of this issue.

Thanks for the fix. Everything seems to be working well now.

That jpg/webp extension change issue is really annoying. I'm not sure why they'd change the extension of a perfectly working jpg file.

[dootsie5times]

I just reported the webp issue to kodi on here and included screenshots from v20 and v21 of the same file's thumbnail.

[dootsie5times]

I just tried "picture slideshow screensaver" addon with a webp and a jpg file and on that both display correctly.
Do you have any idea why webp files do not display in cumination?

[12asdfg12]

Webp images works if the extension is .webp, but does not work if the file extension is renamed to .jpg

[dootsie5times]

On hentai-moon.com using a web browser if you "save image as", the file name extension is .webp, but none of them show in cumination but they will show in slideshow, etc.
Am I missing something?

[12asdfg12]

With "save image as", the browser corrects the file extension (1.webp), but on the website, the extension is wrong (1.jpg).

What did you use to/how did you view those thumbnails on your previous "pictures- pics" screenshot? As far as I can tell, there is no built-in kodi picture viewer and I could not find one with a search inside kodi. I just want to be able to plug in a flash drive with pics and have it display them.

BTW, thanks for your clear answers to my questions. It's very much appreciated.

You must add the location of images as a Source (in the same way as adding sources for videos).

I took the time to post the issue on here and got this reply - "This is intended behavior. In v20 it worked by chance because we temporarily switched to the image2 demuxer. See xbmc/xbmc#19113 for the workaround and xbmc/xbmc#23196 for the revert."

I have no idea what to do with this information. Do you?

Image extensions are expected to match the image format, but as long as browsers support displaying images with incorrect extensions, some websites will continue to disregard this rule.
I’m not aware of any way to fix this issue.
