Description
To get animated weather maps working from wunderground, I need to be able to feed an animated GIF file to mythweather. There is currently no support for this in libmythui, although it seems that QImageReader can handle it.
Can we get this support added, and be able to cycle through them similar to the current multi-image animation support?

(In [25801]) Add support for animated images in MythUIImage. The main use for this is displaying animated gifs loaded directly from http:// sources such as the animated radar images that MythWeather? will be displaying.
The images are not saved in the image cache currently. This includes the on-disk and in-memory caches. If we are going to cache the individual images, then we also need to cache the delay values between images, so the issue of how to store that info needs to be resolved before we can cache the images themselves.
References #8625. I'm going to leave the ticket open for now and change the milestone. The basic support added in this patch is enough for 0.24 and the caching support will be added post 0.24.

Going to close this task for now. Animated image support was added mainly for radar type images. Use of GIF files for animations in themes is strongly discouraged. Adding in caching support for often changing files such as radar images gives very little return on the coding time spent. If someone wants to tackle this, feel free, but I'm closing the ticket for now.
Think this has gone to cpinkham now.
