Bugs (Please dont post here, soon to be deprecated) / GIF aminations in XL 4.0.20

« on: April 14, 2015, 08:19:34 PM »

I tried to report this before, but I guess I choose the wrong forum ("Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker").

I am seeing an issue with XL4.0.x (I have loaded the latest as well) in where I have a GIF file that I put in a picture effect and I can not change the animation speed of the GIF.  The position of the "speed" slider does not seem to affect the speed.  The 20 fps check box does not affect the speed either. 

I loaded the 3.6.7 version of XL and the picture effect speed works as mostly as intended.  The speed slider changes the speed, but it is not linear and seems to skip around in the speed ranges. 

The following is a video of the issue, but it has no sound nor commentary  The first section shows what the actual gif play speed should be as it is playing in IE.  Then you can see me creating a quick animated sequence and adding the picture effect and the gif file.  When I move the slider or check the "20fps" button, the speed is unaffected.  If you want to see timing, look at the clock above.  You can see the frames are about one per second regardless of the slider or checkbox.

Bugs in xLights/Nutcracker / 4.0.17 Animated gif issue

« on: April 10, 2015, 03:38:41 PM »

In the "pictures" effect, the Animated GIFs play at a constant 1 frame per second.  The "Anim Gif Speed" does not seem to affect the speed, nor does the "Movie is 20FPS" check box.  I check Version 3.6.7 and the "Anim Gif Speed" works as it should.
