Cannot get gif to appear at all

Post by Unnaturalmuffin »

Im trying to set a GIF as my background and i cant get it to come up at all. Here is the code i used.
[Rainmeter]
Update=25
[ImageNumberCalc]
Measure=Calc
Formula=Counter % 120
[ImageMeter]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#TIME\frame_[ImageNumberCalc].gif
AntiAlias=1
DynamicVariables=1
W=900
H=
PreserveAspectRatio=1

The images are placed in a folder named TIME in the @Resources folder and are named frame_000 frame_001 etc. There are 119 images in total. Any help would be appreciated this is really annoying me!

Are you sure your individual frame files are .gif?

I would expect them to be .png generally.

They are.gif files which doesnt seem right as they are only 1 frame each. could this be the problem?

I think the more likely problem is the H= (nothing)

Finally figured it out. It didnt like the 0s infront of the frame number so i renamed them like frame_1 instead of frame_001 and its sorted it. Thanks for your help.
