Public bug reported:
Attempting to load a webp image -- for instance,
https://images.theweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/tw_image_9_4/public/FKK78W.jpg.webp
or
https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/2YtWB5zH7sPycyc0FYv3JSB6SFw=/60x0:1140x720/920x613/filters:focal(60x0:1140x720):format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/49663815/timburton.0.0.jpg
-- in a gdk-pixbuf app results in a "Couldn’t recognize the image file format"
error.
Bug 1318327 covers this issue in eye of gnome, and bug 1407644 in
libwebp, but isn't this really a gdk-pixbuf issue? If it really does
belong to libwebp, my apologies, please dup this bug to 1407644 (I'm
confident it doesn't belong to eog since I don't use that program; I
have other programs that use libgdk-pixbuf).
You can probably use eog to test this, or run
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders | grep -i webp
(I assume the loader would mention webp if there was a loader for it).
I have these packages installed in addition to libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:
libwebp-dev libwebp6 libwebpdemux2 libwebpmux3 webp. file recognizes the
format:
$ file /tmp/FKK78W.jpg.webp
/tmp/FKK78W.jpg.webp: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image, VP8 encoding,
1200x533, Scaling: [none]x[none], YUV color, decoders should clamp
