Hello, Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I am currently using Replace GM Icon by JustinFreitas https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/892/view, and it works awersome. I have bought the Animated tokens that Devin has put out, and I can get them to work in the combat tracker by replacing the portrait of the creature with the animated token. The problem I am having is that every time one of those creatures takes an action it throws up an error about a not supported file. If I revert the token back to the original toke, the error message no longer occurs. This has led me to believe that the problem lies within FGU and the chat not supporting webp or webm files, not sure which is which.

The chat window has never supported anything other than icons for chat messages. Portraits get specially designated icons as part of being portraits. And, as noted in the release notes, portraits do not support animated images (since they are not simple images but a composite of three different images), that is also made into an icon.

You will not be able to use animated portraits in the chat window at this time.
