Adding many GIFs to PySide6 widget. (Or another implementation of chat with animated emotes)

KaiZER

i'm working on creating a chat, like on a twitch, in my project using PySide6. Is it possible to make a chat widget with animated (and not only) emojis in messages?

There i'm using QTextEdit and insert's gifs as image
https://prnt.sc/21zzy8o (gifs is static)

 def print_mess(self, mess):

        self.console.setCurrentFont(self.font)
        self.console.setTextColor('#C0C0C0')
        self.console.insertPlainText(" " + mess.formated_time() + " ")

        for badge in mess.userbadges:
            if type(badge) != str:
                self.console.setCurrentFont(self.font)
                self.cursor.insertImage(badge)
                self.console.insertPlainText(" ")

        self.console.setCurrentFont(self.font)
        self.console.setTextColor(mess.usercolor)
        self.console.insertPlainText(mess.username)

        if not mess.isaction:
            self.console.setCurrentFont(self.font)
            self.console.setTextColor('#FFFFFF')
            self.console.insertPlainText(":")

        for fragment in mess.msg:
            self.console.setCurrentFont(self.font)
            if type(fragment) == str:
                self.console.insertPlainText(f" {fragment}")
            else:
                self.console.insertPlainText(" ")
                self.cursor.insertImage(fragment)
                self.console.insertPlainText(" ")

        self.console.insertPlainText('\n')
        sb = self.console.verticalScrollBar()
        sb.setValue(sb.maximum())

You need a QMovie:

import sys
from PySide6.QtGui import QMovie
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel

app = QApplication()
label = QLabel("hello")
movie = QMovie("test.gif")
print(movie.isValid())
label.setMovie(movie)
movie.start()
label.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())

it's important to not forget the .start()

@CristianMaureira Thanks for the answer, dude, but I already know about QMovie, is it really possible to do a lot of gifs (20-30) with this in one window?
