Category background becomes transparent when using background video or animated gif?

I'm testing background videos and noticed that the category background becomes completely transparent. Also, when folding a category, it's trigger-arrow vanishes completely making it impossible to open again. The only thing that stays is the 3-point menu to the right of each category.
Is this intentional with animated backgrounds?

Are you perhaps using custom CSS?

SSerenaphic Are you perhaps using custom CSS?

No, nothing entered in the custom CSS field.

that's curious, on what browser? have you tried a different browser with a different engine? mozilla <-> chromium

Tried on Mac Arc, Thorium, Edge, Firefox and Windows Arc, Edge and Thorium - same problem @Tag

Serenaphic•10/18/24, 10:18 AM

only needed Arc and firefox to make since most of them are all chromium based, but that's usefull info.
Another thing, do you get any errors in your browser's console?

and lastly, for reproducing the issue, what format of file did you use?

(For now I'd suggest changing your videos to gifs, should work without a hitch)

sgr_poolOP•10/21/24, 12:11 PM

@Tag There are no console errors. Video formats I tried where (h264) mp4 and (vp9) webm. One example would be https://www.pexels.com/video/the-sun-illuminating-earth-s-surface-1851190/
And gifs are working, just like you recommended.

Serenaphic•10/21/24, 1:20 PM

Since we should be supporting video formats I'll look into it.
Are gifs a good anough solution for you for now?

sgr_poolOP•10/23/24, 7:04 AM

@Tag Well, gifs are usually huge compared to video, so no, they're not a good solution. On the other hand an animated background isn't a must-have for me. But thanks for looking into it nonetheless!
