You should be able to run `sxiv -a filename.gif` to view gifs, but I just get an error: sxiv: /home/user/picture.gif: Error opening image sxiv: no more files to display, aborting It works as expected on my friend's machine running Arch.

What does `file picture.gif` say for your file? [1] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Rotating_earth.gif

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I had an mp4 named as
a gif! mpv could play it as-is, so I thought sxiv was to blame. Consider
this issue solved (or rather not a real bug).
Apologies for the delay, I've got my email filters set up wrong and
replies to my issues seem to skip my inbox. I've just searched my
bug-guix folder for my handle and found a lot of stuff now.
