hello friends;

I'v used the tutorial (http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/python/code/216550/tkinter-to-put-a-gif-image-on-a-canvas-python) but now the animation of my .gif doesn't work. I have used much more .gifs (animated) to check if the one was broken but no animated .gif is working in my GUI.
Any idea how to fix this problem?

Kind regards;

Tkinter can not play animated gif files.
The GUI toolkit that does this well is PyQT or PySide.

See example at ...

You could break up the animated gif into its individual gif files and sequence it so it plays on Tkinter. There are are a couple of tools on the internet that allow you to do that.
