NFTs being minted with no image and only animation

[hassnian]

it seems that 7 nfts were minted with no image and only animation as they all share the same image (the kodadot placeholder) they all fell under a single collection what that don't share is the animation url

https://kodadot.xyz/ahk/explore/items?listed=false&search=crypto+VR

collection:

@hassnian please open related issue in nft-gallery, as i don't think we want to show the placeholder for these nfts @vikiival is it "within expectation" that an nft will be minted with no image and only animation_url?

if it is, then yes, token entity should handle these cases better

is it "within expectation" that an nft will be minted with no image and only animation_url?

• If it was minted via KodaDot it should be bug
• if it was minted outside of KodaDot well we cannot much do with that.

I will describe the fix in - https://github.com/kodadot/stick/issues/223

do we have a way to tell?

I will describe the fix in - https://github.com/kodadot/stick/issues/223

that will fix the "bunching up" together and mislabeling, not addressing the why the image is black (placeholder) to begin with

I have some insight on this it happens when minting a file that is not an image

i have just minted this https://kodadot.xyz/ahk/gallery/381-1

image is kodadot placeholder, and my file (sandbox.html) is in animation_url
