Pixi.js: Gif support

[juliocanares]

Hey guys, pixi.js has support for gif images? Let me know if you have it and I need to insert gifs on canvas, thanks in advance :).

gif images work fine in canvas, just not animated ones (you'll only ever see the first frame rendered).

Cool , I´ll keep that in mind :dancer:

Let Pixi.js support apng, gif images. And allow control of its operation.

Because of the browser limitations with GIF, there is not an easy path and this is unlikely to be a media source we invest serious time in. If someone want to make a plugin, it seems like there are some GIF parsing libraries available that might help (and there seems like interest here!)

As a workaround, for animated sequences I'd suggest using AnimatedSprite or creating a video and using video source for the BaseTexture. These options will give you a much better playback experience, better file sizes, and better compression options.
