I think the lack of image formats is intentional as mpv is primarily not an image viewer. However almost all GIF files you encounter these days are actually animated (not much point still using the format otherwise). |

FTFY I don't mind the patch, but I think mpv is very bad viewer for short animations. Especially with default config. It doesn't loop, and even of you somehow set it to loop it is not smooth and drops frames on transition. |
