Since VLC can play animated GIFs by starting VLC by commandline with vlc --demux=avformat input.gif (Windows),
would it be possible to create a playercorefactory.xml for Kodi (RaspberryPi) pointing to the internal player with the --demux=avformat argument as a way to have custom launches?
I've tried this and did not succeed:
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="VLC-av" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>/usr/bin/vlc</filename>
<args>--demux=avformat</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule video="true" player="VLC-av"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
I entered player name="VLC-av" to see if the entry would come up in the context menu, but it did not.
The log recorded: "...WARNING: CPlayerCoreFactory::GetPlayer(VLC-av): no such player: VLC-av"
Note: advancedsettings.xml includes
<videoeextensions>
<add>.gif</add>
