playing animated gif using pyqt in softimage

[Angeline]

Hi,

I'm having some troubles with trying to play animated gifs using QMovie attached a QLabel in a dialog in Softimage.

I'm using the setMovie() in QLabel to display the animated gif.

When I ran the plugin, the window is empty despite starting the movie on load. The same set of codes works when I ran it using python shell without the Softimage plugin codes.

Thanks

Hi Angeline,

 

I recently had problems displaying image formats other then pngs as well [was a thread on this mailinglist called "PyQT for Softimage: problem with image formats? (was: problem with QIcons)"].

 

You could try adding the PyQt image plugins (e.g. qgif4.dll) "by hand" like this:

======================================

...

sianchor = Application.getQtSoftimageAnchor()

 

# now add the libs by hand

QtGui.QApplication.instance().addLibraryPath('/pathtopy/sitepackages/PyQt4/plugins')

 

sianchor = sip.wrapinstance( long(sianchor), QWidget )

oDialog = QDialog(sianchor)

...

======================================

 

Hope this helps? (Not sure if solves the animated gif thing, it sure solved displaying jpgs etc.)

Does it work if you use a normal jpg? 

I ran into a similar problem where the path of the image was the problem.

When using python you need to use double slash for paths.
