Animated Webp not supported

[BeeFox-sys]

Description

While the version of electron supports webp, and discord itself converts gif emotes to animated webp, the cdn always returns an error of 415 unsupported type wherever it tries to load animated webp images, be this in embed or posted link or uploaded file.

Steps to Reproduce

post a link to a webp image in discord, watch the dev console report that the cdn returned 415

Expected Behavior

Webp to be loaded as a supported image

Current Behavior

415 unsupported despite being used by discord in other places

Screenshots/Videos

No response

Client and System Information

discord android app, discord program on linux and mac

Unsure why this got migrated into a discussion considering this used to work back then so this must be a regression.

webp images work fine for me and always have, so this doesn't seem to be a Discord issue, maybe the file is malformed?

[BeeFox-sys]

file isn't malformed and works fine with any other electron programs, the issue is with the api specifically returning 415 even though the program can render it

[advaith1]

this attachment works fine and renders in the client, and most images displayed in the client (including user avatars and server icons) are loaded as webp, so the issue you are facing is definitely not the broad incompatibility with webp that your report is suggesting.

hm this is static, could it be an incompatability to animated webp then?

[BeeFox-sys]

yes it seems static webp work fine but not animated webp
