AnimatedImage load source from memory?

[Tummon]

Hi all,

Trying to see if there is a way to load .gifs from memory when using AnimatedImage

It specifically mentions it is not compatible with QQuickImageProvider.

(I'm also restricted in the fact I cannot use the filesystem/resource system)

Has anyone any alternatives?
Would it be possible to override QNetworkAccessManager and do some custom url handling to point to the data in memory?

Thanks!

That's unfortunate, given that qrc is a glorified char array.

This looks like a legitimate option.

d->reply = qmlEngine(this)->networkAccessManager()->get(req);

Use QQmlEngine::setNetworkAccessManagerFactory() to install a customized QNetworkAccessManager that will recognize special URLs passed to QNetworkAccessManager::get().

@jeremy_k don't know how I missed the notification for this, we have some other workaround in place but need to give this a try, thank you!
