I uploaded a small animated gif file to our subsonic page as my avatar, but it doesn't actually animate. Why wouldn't this work? It's just a web page, this kinda blows my mind.

Can it be a feature request? It's not like it doesn't support .GIF, it just doesn't animate. I honestly don't understand why it doesn't work, it's a webpage that we're talking about. Ani-GIFs are certainly supported in all web browsers. Anyway, it's obviously no big deal, but it would be cool if it worked.
Thanks,
Vinny

If it's just for your avatar, animated GIFs *should* work - they just have to be a certain size. I've been successful using them so long as they're scaled to 50x50 pixels. There are utilities such as gifsicle that will do the conversion without issue.
