I seem to have found a solution to this problem accidentally. (Qt)
So, QT doesn't actually need X or Wayland to run on Raspberry Pi, which is awesome! QT also supports GIFs out of the box!
What I did:
1. Installed QT binaries from
http://twolife.be/raspbian/ (make sure you have qtquick1-qml-plugins installed!)
2. Made a test.qml file (assuming you have a gif file called load.gif):
Code: Select all
import QtQuick 2.0
Rectangle {
id: root
width:800
height:600
color:"#000"
AnimatedImage {
id: viewerImage
anchors.centerIn: parent
source:"load.gif"
fillMode:Image.PreserveAspectCrop
}
}
3. qmlscene -platform eglfs test.qml
It seems to work
When I get everything coded up how I want, it'll land in my github:
