Post by koloved »

Subject: 1.8.3: Unable to Open AVIF Video Files (AVIF Images Open Correctly)

XnView: MP 1.8.3 - 64-bit
OS: Windows 11 - 64-bit

Short Description of the Problem:
XnView MP cannot open AVIF video files, while AVIF image files open without any issues. Attempting to open an AVIF video file results in the error message: "File can't be loaded!"

Effect:
Users cannot view or interact with AVIF video files in XnView MP, limiting the software's functionality for handling AVIF format files.

To Reproduce:

Open XnView MP (version 1.8.3, 64-bit).

Attempt to open an AVIF video file (e.g., xnviewmp_qwPzQ9rJ58.avif).

Observe the error message: "File can't be loaded!"

Actual Behaviour (Bug):
XnView MP fails to load AVIF video files and displays an error message. Image

Expected Behaviour:
XnView MP should be able to open and display AVIF video files, similar to how it handles AVIF image files.

Additional Information:

XnView MP Version: 1.8.3 (64-bit)

Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit)

File Example: The issue occurs with the file xnviewmp_qwPzQ9rJ58.avif.

Note: AVIF image files open without any issues.


Request:
Please investigate this issue and provide a fix or workaround for opening AVIF video files in XnView MP. If additional information or files are needed, please let me know.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I was about to post a bug report on that lol.
Do you have plans to add support in the future? Are there any plugins we could use to open those with Xnview MP?
