hi.
i have a problem. i'm developing a new script which downloads googlemaps screens and hopefully will let you navigate around. anyway most of the tiles for the screen will download and show on screen with no problem but on some there may be a few tiles missing. the gifs for the missing tiles download perfectly to files on the xbox and i can view them on my computer with no problem. but when i load them on screen they just will not show. i have looked at the logging in xbmc but looks normal. the tiles that are usually missing are the ones with more colors on them so i imagine that is causing a problem for the gif interpreter in xbmc. on my pc i loaded the image with the pil library and just saved it again as another gif. this is the test.gif in the zip and if i try and load that on screen it will load. the original gif is gif89a format and the pil automatically converts to gif87a and this loads in xbmc ok. unfortunatley the pil on the xbmc cannot save files so i am in trouble. i did the same converting to png and that would also load on screen. has anyone had any similar problems. anyone know anything about the gif handling. please have a look at the zip file and you will see. there are meant to be 2 gifs on screen but only one is shown. hope someone can help.
cheers
