Feature Request: Looping audiovideo in Preview

I might be out of my element here, but
it seemed similar enough.

Could you get audio/video files to loop in Preview?
Looping .gif and .mp4 files particularly stand to benefit.

Support animated WebP

This boils down to upgrading to the latest libwebp.

Example animated WebP image to test on: https://08334865990100544955.googlegroups.com/attach/8c6f234c4ae89d2d/Zipper_animated.webp

Not working in Catalina

Just installed and relaunched finder... It tries to work then just defaults to generic Photoshop icon and no preview.

Doesn't work on mac OS Sierra 10.12

I installed it with the terminal in the user folder, then moved it manually in the system folder, relanched the finder, restarted the computer, it still does not work.
I tried that command and there was no such file.
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /System/Library/QuickLook/WebpQuickLook.qlgenerator

I only *thought* I had a problem (was: Dinna work in macOS Mojave)

As it turns out, I just wasn't using my imagination... Posting this as an aid to others who may encounter the same issues:

When I followed the "default" instructions from my "regular" mac user account, here's what I saw:

But - turns out I didn't have the required privileges (did not try sudo). However, I went to my Admin account, and installed it for all users iaw the suggestion here:

curl -L https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/install-all.sh | sh

Maybe a small change to the README file here would help?

Anyway - it seems to be working fine!

Can you update the instructions from

If you use homebrew you can do:

brew cask install WebPQuickLook

to

If you use homebrew you can do:

brew install --cask WebPQuickLook

Fix transparency

Try this transparent WebP image, for example: https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery3/1_webp_ll.webp

With WebPQuickLook, the preview looks like this instead:

No longer works in ~/Library/QuickLook on Yosemite.

On homebrew-cask we had an issue open recently pertaining to an alternative to this plugin. The problem being it no longer (in Yosemite) works when set in ~/Library/QuickLook (as opposed to /Library/QuickLook, where it does work).

After some tests I found this issue, whatever the cause, also affects your plugin, so maybe you and @dchest would be interested in working together on it. So far, every other quicklook plugin I’ve tried seems to be working normally.

Curl is returning a 404

ExternalQuickLookSatellite quit unexpectedly while using the WebpQuickLook plug-in

WebpQuickLook is (usually) great. Thanks so much for it!

However, I'm seeing "ExternalQuickLookSatellite quit unexpectedly while using the WebpQuickLook plug-in" crashes a couple times daily under Catalina 10.15.4.

I haven't been able to determine a pattern, but it is typically while I'm neither actively using a browser nor doing anything I would expect to involve WebpQuickLook.

I'm happy to share crash reports or other system details if they'd be useful--just let me know what you'd like to see.

Tag/label your project with 'webp' and 'quicklook-plugin'

This project should be tagged with appropiate GitHub tags, to categorise it better:

• quicklook-plugin

Dont get a preview osx 10.11.6

Installed it using Homebrew on OSX 10.11.6 and i dont see any preview.
Ive attached my test file.

I tried both user folder as well as the main quicklook folder. restarted finder, restarted system, still nothing

bell_park_dawn.webp.zip

Failed to install it use brew or script

When I tried to use brew cask install WebPQuickLook to install WebPQuickLook, I got this error:

Error: Download failed on Cask 'webpquicklook' with message: Download failed: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/WebpQuickLook.tar.gz

What I know is that I used SOCKS proxy, and I am sure brew and the proxy is working fine.

I could not also use the curl -L https://raw.github.com/emin/WebPQuickLook/master/install.sh | sh to install, with error:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to raw.githubusercontent.com port 443: Connection refused

when I didn't use proxy. Since now I am in Mainland China, it is acceptable, and after set up SOCKS proxy, I got:

curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'raw.githubusercontent.com'
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not

which is just like the error in brew.

So maybe the install.sh has some problems with proxy? I am not sure, please help me! Thanks a lot.

Thumbnail doesn't work on retina macbook pro 10.9.3

No thumbnail generated.

Not showing thumbnail

Installed on latest build of catalina, when I installed and relaunced finder, the webp images show up on quicklook, but the thumbnails still show the default image. Is there any way to show the thumbnail of the image itself?

Doesn't show thumbs on High Sierra

I can't see previews on High Sierra.

Could it be related to this frequent message in system.log?

com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.quicklook[54440]): Endpoint has been activated through legacy launch(3) APIs. Please switch to XPC or bootstrap_check_in(): com.apple.quicklook

Thanks, consider moving to brew cask

Thanks for this, your package works better than the older one floating around.

Consider integrating with brew cask, which makes installation super easy:

"Code will never be executed"

while (WebPDemuxNextFrame(&iter));, part of a loop in GenerateThumbnailForURL.c is reported to have this problem by Xcode 10.1 under macOS 10.13.6. The same while appears in two places in the code. This may relate to report #2 .

Doesn't work on macOS Mojave

Hey,
I tried to install this extension (both ways), restarted my machine and it doesn't work at all (no thumbs, no quicklook). I tried on two machines running on Mojave - works on none of them :(

Would be great if you provide some help!

Quicklook on a webp just gives a blank screen now.
