GIF not Displayed in QT 5.15

Christian Ehrlicher

Make sure the file really exists where you expect it as @JonB already told you by using e.g. QFile::exists() and/or moving it to a Qt resource.
Make sure the Qt gif imageformat plugin is available and check if it gets correctly loaded.

I have verified it in 2 systems.

How does that verify that the file can be found? Do you understand where a relative path is sought from your running Qt application? Maybe it's different on target board from desktop (it may at least depend on how you invoked your application, for example from Creator or not, though there are other influencers.). Please put in code as I suggested and @Christian-Ehrlicher reiterated so that both you & we know for sure this is not an issue.

Hi @JonB

Thanks for replying, but I have changed the file path to fix path
*QMovie movie = new QMovie("/home/root/doorClosel.gif");

still the same issue.

My Query
1: Does QT Wayland Support GIF Format
2: If yes, is there any package missing that I should install

Hi @JonB,

I just added Debug prints on Embedded Devices.
Here is the out come

*root@colibri-imx6-10923511:~# ./gif_flv_test
File Exists

Not a valid File*

I am not sure why this is showing an invalid File.

Reading would certainly help...

@Christian-Ehrlicher
I am cross checking for it.
I have the sample code that is working in Desktop but not on other system.
Surely reading and checking for the same

@Vivek_autometers Why do you think just because it works on another machine means that the plugin is there on your target system and is loaded correctly??

Do whatever you want, I'm out.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
That's what I wanted to figure out
I was just curious how to do it.

Of course, if the GIF file is found and the Qt GIF image format plugin is present in the correct place on the running system. Which is why reading this...

Make sure the Qt gif imageformat plugin is available and check if it gets correctly loaded.

was important.

Well, have you deployed the Qt GIF image format plugin (.../imageformats/libqgif.so) on to the running system?
Have you checked that it has been found and loaded successfully?

export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
./gif_flv_test

Once you get it working, for the safety of all, do not run this as root.
