Support animated webp files. #2695

Open kevincox opened 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now webp animations will not play. This can be very confusing as it fails to convey what the sender intended.

Describe the solution you'd like webp animations should be treated identically to animated gifs.

Duplicate of #2668?

kevincox commented 3 years ago

I don't think so. At the least this is more specific. But that bug seems more about selecting a media file where as this is about making it play.

This here is about allowing playback of the webp mime type at all. 2668 is about stickers that use animated picture mime types that are already supported (like gif) and potentially going to be supported (like webp), which are currently bugged in that they show a play button on top of the sticker similar to the gif, however it is impossible to press the play button which usually works to open some kind of video player that plays back a non-sticker gif.
