when trying to load a gif from the file system on a Nexus 6 running Android 6.0.1 MHC19Q.
the code that throws the exception is:

Glide.with(mContext)
        .load(mImage.getPath())
        .placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
        .centerCrop()
        .into(holder.mImage);

mImage is confirmed to be a gif before running this code.
this code is being runned in the onBindViewHolder method of a custom RecyclerView.Adapter.
and for the layout code:

<RelativeLayout
         <ImageView
                <LinearLayout

EDIT:
also, sometimes the error occures, sometimes it doesnt.
9 out of 10 times the .gif just wont load.

sometimes the error occures, sometimes it doesnt.

That's the nature of OOMs usually.

You're getting the OOM from encoder, because it tries to resize the GIF, try adding .diskCacheStrategy(SOURCE). It should speed up loading/decoding a lot and hopefully gets rid of the OOM as well.
