Animated GIF support?
« on: January 13, 2007, 10:56:08 pm »

Not sure if it's me and there's something I haven't enabled, but why is there no animated GIF support?
Kind of annoying to have to use a second imageviewer (IrfanView) to watch GIF's.

Will this feature be available in the future?

Yeah this has been a pretty longstanding request!

While I certainly don't have an extensive collection of animated gifs in my library, it would be nice if MC could handle the ones I do have.

I actually thought that support for animated gifs was added, but I remembered wrong. This is the only thread I found:

http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=28614.0  (18 months ago)


EDIT

and this  :)

Media Jukebox 8.0.227 beta is available:

ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaJukebox8.exe

Please backup your library and your license.

(note: you can use "Help->Check for Updates" if you've installed a previous beta of 8.0 to reduce the download size)

History:
1. NEW: Added "Quick Search" to quickly find items in a list. (Ctrl Q / F3 for repeat)
2. Fixed: Browser scheme additional searches could be evaluated out of order.
3. Fixed: Media Jukebox would not always come to the foreground when started.
4. Changed: Pictures items removed from Metamorphis.
5. NEW: Added new predefined placeholder item, Picture.
6. Changed: Declaration of the colors in Metamorphis skins was changed.
7. NEW: Added support for animated gif files to Metamorphis skins (see Picture placeholder)
8. Fixed: Placeholders would ignore state setting.
9. Fixed: Visualization placeholder would not resize correctly.
10. Fixed: Media Jukebox would not always get the volume ID for a newly inserted CD.
11. NEW: Can now use visualizations in "Track Info" pages (see DJ template)
12. NEW: Media Jukebox automatically assigns a CD volume label when getting information from CDDB.

We support animated GIFs in the Mini View skinning engine.

However, our image playback system is not currently configured to support animation.

It's a good idea to add, but it may need to wait for v13.

Thanks.

Your Getting Older

I Tried It A Few Months Ago When They Released The First MC12 Betas.

I Want To Add Some "Frankenstein Type" High Voltage Electrodes.

Matt If You Guys Do Work On It, Mouse Over Effects Like Change Image, And Sound Would Be Nice Too...

So If I Put My Mouse Over The Electrode Area The Voltage Will Spark More (Change GIF Animation) And Then I Could Also Add A Higher Voltage Sound If The Mouse Is Over The Electrodes.
