Whenever I make a post with a link to a gif as the URL, the post on clients like Sync, Liftoff, and Photon all actually show the .gif file in the post so it will play correctly. Whenever I view the post on lemmy-ui (the basic UI) though, sometimes it has some .webm file that was created on the original instance, and to actually get the gif to play you have to click on that or click on the link to the original website. How do I get the behavior on other clients to be the same for lemmy-ui, so the gifs will actually play? it
Example:
Edit: I don’t think it’s size, since this gif is smaller in size than this one
Also, here are my .env variables:
PICTRS__MEDIA__VIDEO_CODEC=vp9
PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_WIDTH=512
PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_HEIGHT=512
PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_AREA=262144
PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_FRAME_COUNT=500
I increased the values from default to see if that would fix it but no luck
Weird. Did you try through catbox.moe? That’s what I use to post images. I don’t have experience with animated stuff though, sorry.
Yeah, it’s something with Lemmy-UI I’m pretty sure
Thanks though
