@Friendica Support

I just ran on #mastodon into the fact that #webP has issues to be uploaded.
There was a general problem giving 500 errors that apparently was fixed recently, even tho not all servers have updated this problem.

Actually I wanted to upload animated webP and that still doesn't work. The software extracts the first pic and serves it as webP.

So I tried to publish via #friendica into the fediverse the animated webP but at least the squeet.me friendica version (2023.09-dev) extracts the first pic and serves it as jpg image. 2021.01 and 2019.12 doesn't accept webP at all.

I guess this is known?

Any changes on this to expect?

I'm kinda astonished as I created the webP with GIMP and can display it in firefox, all free source software and animated webP is definitely higher quality than gif and way smaler size.

That was a bad joke. #HEIF and #AV1 is patented to hell and beyond, nobody in their sane mind would use it for anything but for a bad example.
#WebP is free of patent trolls and copyright claims.
And the next one will be, possibly, #JPEG-XL, which is/will be also free of patents.

Very extremely unfortunately #pixelfed does not support #WebP which would make the image 1/5th of its size.
