.webm files suggestion

iSys — Thu, 04 Dec 2014 19:13:08 GMT

Ok, my first thread, idk where this should go to so don't kill me -- i don't taste good.

Anyway, with the getting more and more popular video format of webm ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebM ) replacing gif files on some websites, i have a suggestion for an update to Album or Movies apps to recognize it and automatically loops the file. Afterall, the file is mostly used as a gif replacement thanks to its much much more compact file size (bye2 bandwidth killing pages).
Thanks for visiting

That's something that has to be suggested to Android /Google not so much Sony

Ah i see, i thought Sony could make some modification about the file playback seeing how the Walkman app has received a dsd playback ability which is impressive.
Anyway, thanks for the reply.

I thought WebM was a HTML web coding name given to videos which was or has been supported since Gingerbread using Chrome

It is, you can play it, but it acts like a normal video which stops after it finishes once. I mean, since webm is starting to replace animated gifs nowadays, why not also give the option to loop webm?
