Non-Image content-type returned for animated gif

[eostermueller]

I'm getting the message "Non-Image content-type returned" with this animated gif: http://recordit.co/iEMpbBUfQ0

I added some markdown. In the following line, it renders incorrectly, exactly as it renders on my github wiki page:

to this github wiki page: https://github.com/eostermueller/performanceGolf/wiki/Install-and-Run

...which generated this url: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/31065e879f38322ec91c2fb8f6a8479362bfd161/687474703a2f2f7265636f726469742e636f2f69454d70624255665130

Any thoughts on how to make this work?

Thank you, --Erik

GitHub uses a custom version of Camo, have you tried testing with your own copy?

@eostermueller : How did you solve this issue ?

Just add .gif extension.

This same error occurred with me, while I was adding an mp4 format file.

Same issue with a giphy link.

@GaganBhat I'm pretty sure this is new with GIPHY links, they've always worked for me. Now though, I believe there is a restriction on file size:

giphy.gif (7.7MB):

Yeah you're right, @giannif, that was the issue, looks they updated the camo configuration.

I fixed my issue by uploading the gif directly into my repo (yes, unfortunately it adds size), and then referring to it with a relative path to the readme.
