ive tried loading a local custom background in Jarvis confluence as per youtube video from kord cutters using the same gifs and it doesn't work - just a black screen - also tried on aeon mq 6 but nothing seems to work - anyone suggest anything to try?
I think this is the section of the log yet the file does exist as it was browsed to

Yes that's the problem, please upload a complete log to pastebin. Is it a self build release?
@
wsnipex could you please have a look?
I have libgif.so.4 and libgif.so.4.1.6 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu but no libgif.so.6
I also dont really know what this is but hope this helps?
so6 is 5.0.5 iirc. Where' s the kodi version from? Could you try to update it?
its from the ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sorry I dont know what 5.0.5 iirc is my linux is not great
I ran an apt-get update and apt-upgrade before asking for help and have done a few more times - is this what you mean or are you talking about nightlies?
OK JIC that was what you meant, I went to nightlies and update/upgrade but same result
please run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade once more.
It should work now.
unfortunately the same result - looking at the packages there was nothing to do with giflib
i just upgraded to beta 5 same result.
Is there some packages I can manually install?
YES - that worked thanks so much!!!!!!
In the latest nightly for android's arm build (1/12) libgif is still not added
