Bug ID: 485894 Summary: Animated wallpapers don't play on the lockscreen Classification: Plasma Product: kscreenlocker Version: 6.0.4 Platform: Compiled Sources OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: bizy...@zoho.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When using the same GIF as my wallpaper for both the desktop and the lockscreen, the animation will play on the desktop, but not on the lockscreen. The specific file doesn't seem to matter, you can test with this one: https://giphy.com/gifs/Windows-windows-clippy-microsoft-Ix6GpACnOfQ37CBAzq STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set an animated GIF image (or a folder with animated GIF images) as your lockscreen wallpaper. 2. Lock the screen (e.g. with Meta+L). OBSERVED RESULT The GIF does not play. The lockscreen is otherwise responsive, and images change when using a slideshow. EXPECTED RESULT Animated GIFs play on the lockscreen just like they do on the desktop. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20240418 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.6-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION On two random occasions in months, I've had GIFs play on the lockscreen!
