            Bug ID: 489006
           Summary: Haruna will not play .gif files despite being able to
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Haruna
           Version: 1.1.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: generic
          Assignee: georgefb...@gmail.com
          Reporter: bulletproofbe...@proton.me
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Haruna is built on mpv which is perfectly capable of playing gif files, but
haruna by default will not open any file that doesn't match a set of predefined
mime types. (as defined
https://invent.kde.org/search?group_id=1549&project_id=7802&repository_ref=master&scope=blobs&search=mp4)
However, since Haruna is built on mpv which is capable of playing gifs, if you
simply rename any .gif file to .mp4 and then attempt to open it in Haruna it
will play as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. attempt to open a .gif file with Haruna
2. rename the .gif file to a .mp4 file
3. attempt to open the renamed file with Haruna

OBSERVED RESULT
Haruna will refuse to load the file when it has a .gif extension, but will load
the exact same file and play it perfectly fine after it is renamed to a .mp4
extension, despite nothing about the file actually changing.

EXPECTED RESULT
Haruna should not prevent itself from playing .gif files if it's underlying mpv
implementation is capable of playing them. (or any file extensions for that
matter)
