How to load GIF animation from .gif file?

[nilsberlin]

Loading images from folder is not a problem for me, but loading a gif animation does not work. It is just like an image view with the first picture of the gif animation.

How do i load animated gif files?

Try with something like that
python timebox.py --address 11:75:58:E4:71:30 animation ../testdata/exp.gif --gif --delay 10

Thank you for your quick reply.

Was able to download cloud stored image files and animations from the divoom servers. But the format is not clear. I want to sent the data files in raw bluetooth format to the timebox. Because i don't know how to do it, i was wondering if you could maybe provide an example how to use the raw option of timebox.py?

You have more chance than me ^^. I haven't find a way ro retreive GIF from their cloud.
I m using a classic gif, make by myself with a gif editor.
If you want to use raw , take a look on doc here > https://github.com/MarcG046/timebox/blob/master/doc/protocol.md
From my memory it's possible too with several picture on the same folder (to make animation). Perhaps I have find the technic on a fork of this project.
