Animated Gif Error

Mr .Wu

I have written a demo like this :

import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 240
    height: 240
    color: "black"
    flags: Qt.FramelessWindowHint // 无边框

    Rectangle {
        width: 240; height: 240
        AnimatedImage { id: animation; source: "qrc:/test.gif" }
    }
}

The application ran successfully on PC Linux . When I running on Embedded platform ，it caused an exception . "Qml AnimatedImage : Error Reading Animated Image File qrc:/test.gif"

@Mr-.Wu
did you maybe forget to deploy Qt's gif imageformat plugin?

Just encountered the same issue. If it can help someone, here is the solution I used :
Now the GIF support doesn't require a plugin anymore, it is in the "Core Qt GUI library" (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtimageformats-index.html).
If the Error message happens on Embedded platform, most likely your Qt base have been compiled without gif support.

In my case (Yocto environment), the solution was simply to add a qtbase bbappend file, with this line :

PACKAGECONFIG_append = "gif"
