Not sure why my previous bug report post vanished.
But basically if a CBZ file has a gif page then it can't be read and just shows a black page. Android only, confirmed on 3 devices. Windows yacreader handles them fine.

BTW amazing work with the new border trimming and frame-by-frame features!

Yeah, it got lost for some reason.

The problem is that the Android API used by the app to decode images doesn’t support gif. This API is focused on saving memory usage, and Google will be watching over memory usage soon. So I don’t have a suitable alternative yet.

gif is kind of a weird choice for comics. Can you get a different version of the file?

Glad you like the new additions :)

yeah i don't know why some of the volumes had gifs mixed in and you can't really control whats going to be in the cbzs you get.
The black pages are confusing though, how about displaying a "page format can't be loaded" message on the page instead of just plain black? at least then users will know whats going on.
