First off I would like to thank you for this mod. As it is now, it is a huge help for my server. It allows greater creativity, better signage, and improved aesthetics.
That said, I have a couple suggestions/feature requests.
1. Redstone #1. Could you have an option for the picture frame to react to a redstone signal? I:E redstone signal detected the frame turns off etc..
I think some interesting builds could be done with this.
2. Redstone #2. If you can activate it with redstone, would it be possible to use variable strength redstone to activate multiple images?
I:E The # for the picture would correspond to the # of the redstone signal strength.
This could be used to make dynamic signage, as well as other interesting builds.
3. No repeat. If a redstone signal can turn on/off the picture frame, how about allowing the picture frame to play an animated gif once?
That way an animated message can play once when a button is pressed. This would allow you to have animated instructions that play on demand, instead of a player catching the animation randomly in the middle somewhere.
4. Redstone #3. If Request #3 works, how about the idea of the picture frame sending out it's own redstone signal when the animated gif ends?
Imagine a series of animated gifs going off one by one activated in turn by the preceding one. You could do things like animated/automated gif tours with text, arrows, or if your skilled enough an animated character. It would be awesome.
5. An optional transparency slider? Yes this would be useful.
6. I suppose adding video support would be too hard?
7. Maybe an animated radio block? supports online mp3s or radio streams?
There used to be a mod that added streaming radio, but I can't find something that works for this version of minecraft.
(I know I'm pushing it)
Yeah these suggestions are probably annoying. Still, I had to try
Anyway, thank you again for the mod, it is greatly appreciated.
I will keep all of them in mind. Once i will work on this mod again, i will decide what to do.
The problem is that none of the urls link directly to the gif file. Seems like giphy doesn't offer a direct, so i suggest you download the file and upload it somewhere else in order to use it with OnlinePictureFrame.

It's an old post, the licence does not really matter. The one on github is the important one (as you said already).

Cool I look forward to seeing what you decide
1710 download link seems dead. Could you re-upload it to dropbox or somewhere?
Uploaded it to curseforge.
It would be awesome, if it could work as OfflinePictureFrame
I mean the ability to enter a path to a local file, so it could work without internet.
That's possible but you will be the only person you can see the picture. There is no way to "upload" the picture to the world.
Leider ist das bei der 1.7.10er version nicht möglich. Am besten immer updaten wenn man alle neuen Features haben will
i've ran into a problem and that is whatever i put on the frame it doesn't come up it's just blank
Could you give me an example link?
my mod supports gif, but not gifv
i've still got the same problem. The gif i used (not the one in the video) was from imgur
Could you send me the link?
it doesn't work with any gif or pictures i put on (link: https://giphy.com/gifs/l3zoKeX8bMG5sMP4s)
You have to link to the actual image and not to the website. So in your example it would be https://media.giphy.com/media/l3zoKeX8bMG5sMP4s/giphy.gif
i've tried everything it still hasn't worked
The problem is that none of the urls link directly to the gif file. Seems like giphy doesn't offer a direct, so i suggest you download the file and upload it somewhere else in order to use it with OnlinePictureFrame.
okay, thank you
