Feature Request - Animate GIFs - OneAngryGamer - 10-27-2021

A lot of Steam descriptions contain animated GIF images. But when you view these Descriptions in Playnite, these only appear as static (non-moving) images.

Worse, many of these GIFs have a black image for the first frame. This means that when you view the Description in Playnite, you don't even get a static picture, you get large black rectangles appearing throughout the description.

Could a future release of Playnite animate GIFs?

I'm sure that some extension developers would find this very useful for other uses besides making Descriptions look normal (e.g animated background art would be possible if Playnite could animate GIFs)

Thanks Crow

  1. GitHub wont let me create an account. It always tells me 'Unable to verify your captcha response' yet it never gives me any captcha. I have tried everything - different browsers, disabling firewalls - but nada.
  2. The description for the General forums is "General discussion about Playnite, new feature suggestions etc." - is this no longer correct?

I fixed the description, I need to have all feature requests on GitHub otherwise they will get forgotten.

What should I do then? I can't create an account on GitHub.

This specific thing was already reported on GitHub.
