annisman 13 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I would love to see this implemented, especially as a plug-in (ease of use), even a paid plug-in if that's how it has to be. Would absolutely use this, and I like the idea of only one poster being animated at a time (as you scroll over it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas64 38 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Sure! I have a collection of Animated Gif's - just funny stuff I gathered over the years.. (I'm old - so have stuff from "back in the day" of the Internet/Web.. LOL) I've tried to add them into a Pictures Library folder before - but they don't work. Appears to just show the first frame - or whatever they are made up of. (I've not tried in a while, though..) I get they wouldn't be able to be resized or such (never could do that with them even when displaying from a picture viewer program that supported animated GIF's directly from Windows)... So some of them could be ridiculously small on a large screen - but wouldn't be the case for all of them... It would be great to just be able to create a folder for them - and have them display as is, but working, via Emby.. I've not come across a single other file type (that I have) which Emby wasn't able to "play".. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnappi 0 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Similar reason as to why was also looking for GIF support in earlier post (to view a few old families photos that are in GIF format.)

slitzer 7 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Saw those gifs. Agreed they are good. Same, mutchly like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas64 38 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Just starting to kick around 4.0.1.0 - looks like the subfolders of Animated Gif's I had now "play"! At least via the Web Interface - with pretty much all default settings.. Thanks for that! Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd01 8 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 LOVE the gif support, please when you have time add it to the theatre client too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiosensei 22 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 wait there is gif support now?? can we have that for posters and thumbs? I know that will require an update to every os emby is on.. but still, this is one of the most wanted features imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 No, not official support. Please read this topic. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas64 38 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 In a "Photos" library (content type = Home Videos & Photos), I have I have a few subdirectories (err, sub-folders) which contain only GIF's. Previously, Emby would only display the first frame of the GIF. But, I always left those sub-folders included in the main directory/folder - just in case they ever started working. And, I sometimes access with media directly with programs which did "play" them. With 4.0.1.0 - every one of the GIF's I've looked at now "play" when displayed in Emby as a photo - at least with the Web Client, haven't tried any other app yet. I am not attempting to use any GIF on any Menu as a Thumbnail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would indicate not a lot of people thinking about this feature. But, it is the same feature request and the same discussion. There is no reason to duplicate it. People can respond here.

The GIF images used to work as @Happy2Play stated here, but it seems support for them has since been removed. Would be nice to have them supported again with some display options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlawman 4 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) I did open that thread, but only because @Luke told me to do it, i did not know this existed, i am just saying that support dor gifs would be good for everyone or maybee no one but it's nice to have the option to use them or not, i just want to do something magical like when pictures move in HP, would be nice if posters or user pictures moved, it would make a better experience for some.

Luke 37046 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Animated gif posters will be supported in Emby Server 4.8 - on detail screens only. What that means is, when you're browsing lists, searching, etc, you won't see the animation, but you will see it on detail screens. Also please note that on some form factors such as mobile layouts in portrait orientation, we don't even show the poster anymore. But where it is used and the platform supports it, the animation will be supported. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
