Show gifs on and LED matrix using the hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix Python library

I know this is old, but just wanted to say thanks!

THANKS!!!

Thanks! I got weird artifacting when I loaded my gif without resizing the frames this way first.

Hello
I copied the code and got an error on line 16 "Invalid non-printable character U+00A0. Do you know how to fix this?
