We’ve now released a new function to handle animated illustrations called Ugoira which makes your series of illustrations into an animated one.

Any thoughts?

That means just about nothing for the tags I browse.

Why the fuck didn't they simply add gif or apng?
Why did they had to animate each frame on JS?!

JUST WHY?!

[Anonymous No.]

>>12222347
Don't question Japanese programming.

[Anonymous No.]

Alright, so now we need someone who can make a script that
1. Downloads all the frames of a given animation
2. Obtains information about the timing of each frame
3. Uses the information from 2 to compile the frames from 1 into a webm

I know tons of you guys are studying programming to fight the crippling depression of your unproductive NEET lifestyles, so how about putting that knowledge to use to salvage this blunder?

apng would be better since it's loseless.

Would be a nice bonus to be able to share on 4chan, though

You first need to persuade moot to stop sucking dick all the time and implement apng.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, maybe this way it makes harder to "steal".

They always supported gifs and animated png, actually. Or at least did not stop people from posting them.

It's some dumb animation in a wrapper. It looks like each frame is just a png in base64.

Terrible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12222484
It never hosted them. Whenever people wanted to post animated pictures, they either had to submit each frame in manga mode, or submit one frame and link to an external site holding the actual animation.

Hard to say if this will catch on, though. On one hand, it's a really horrible solution which is inconvenient to the uploader, host and viewer at the same time, and it's limited to 50 frames total. In order to make an animation, you'll most likely be using a program dealing with frames, and any such program will easily be able to compile them into an animation image, so having to save all the frames separately and upload them to pixiv is a pretty annoying extra step. On the other hand, Japanese people have this weird habit of just picking whatever tool is most easily available to them even if there are superior options out there, so they might be willing to settle for this out of some twisted concept of convenience. And to people who haven't seen apng before, the resolution ugoani allows might seem impressive compared to gif.

>It never hosted them.

Yes, it did. I don't know what restrictions were in place or why some people preferred to post animations on external sites, but submissions like
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=43132445 clearly show it was possible to put them on pixiv if you wanted to.

If you're looking to get all the image frames, using something like RequestPolicy in firefox should show a zip file request tailed with the image dimensions.
ie. i2 dot pixiv dot net/img-zip-ugoira/img/2014/06/25/23/51/05/44310619_ugoira1920x1080.zip
Or just find zip in the page source.

<- Too lewd for work by the way.

A lot of Pixiv is protected with a referrer check, so you will have a hard time using just your browser to get what you want. Just script it, way less headache.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12223287
4chan pretty much is the only website in existence that doesn't "support" APNG (actually actively scans PNGs for animations and refuses them)

APNG is 100% backwards compatible with normal PNG. Normal PNG support = APNG support.

moot truly is a faggot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12224375

I'm unfamiliar with this; is there a link that can show me how to do so?

[Anonymous No.]

>>12222464
Probably because APNG is terrible? Just a guess.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12224390
Sorry friend, if you don't know what a referrer check is, chances are that you wouldn't know how to write a script to circumvent it.

[Anonymous No.]

Is this happening to anybody else?

Some pictures refuse to load and I've tried opening them on multiple devices and clicking into enlarge and everything and nothing.

It's always the same ones too.

pixiv.com uses a different interface which probably hasn't been updated to handle them yet.

I must have had some pre ugoira cookie that stored referrals, since that isn't working now.

That said:
>>12226641
javascript:window.location=pixiv.context.ugokuIllustFullscreenData.src;

Shove that into a bookmark and use it while on the page.

Animated GIF only supports up to 256 colors. APNG is not supported by most browsers without installing some extension or plugin. Both are lossless, so filesizes can get very large for low-contrast, high-detail images. Basically, Pixiv wants MJPEG, but I don't think that's support out-of-the-box by most browsers either, so this was their solution.

[Anonymous No.]

Well, this doesn't actually work anywhere as poorly as I thought it would.

It's still a stupid idea.
