      Especially remember that electron and gifs are really a bad combination especially on the raspeberry pi since it does not use hardware acelleration :unamused_face:

        I had thought about using an intervalTimer which showed a list of images in succession, but I think that would be worse than a GIF for the Raspi. :zipper-mouth_face:

            When you directly display MM2 on your raspberrypi you could do an overlay with omxplayer. it supports hardware acceleration which makes it run really smooth with gifs

              @maxbachmann that’s a really great idea. I noticed that is how some of the Security Camera MM2 modules work.
