Bug ID: 485894
Summary: Animated wallpapers don't play on the lockscreen
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bizy...@zoho.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the same GIF as my wallpaper for both the desktop and the
lockscreen, the animation will play on the desktop, but not on the lockscreen.
The specific file doesn't seem to matter, you can test with this one:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set an animated GIF image (or a folder with animated GIF images) as your
lockscreen wallpaper.
2. Lock the screen (e.g. with Meta+L).
OBSERVED RESULT
The GIF does not play. The lockscreen is otherwise responsive, and images
change when using a slideshow.
EXPECTED RESULT
Animated GIFs play on the lockscreen just like they do on the desktop.
