Instead of showing a scaled, single line of the GIF: map the full gif to the strip
Contributor
WalkthroughMoves GIF playback state to file-scoped static variables, introduces per-segment coordinate and scaling state, adds three pixel draw callbacks (no-scale, 1D, 2D), defers GIF size detection until after decoder start, hardens decoder/file error handling and cleanup, and tweaks FX image metadata.

wled00/image_loader.cpp (2)
59-59: Off-by-one handling is a narrow heuristic.The special case
if (totalImgPix - stripLen == 1)only handles one specific edge case. Other near-equal ratios (e.g., totalImgPix = stripLen + 2, or stripLen = totalImgPix + 1) may still exhibit uneven pixel distribution or gaps. Consider either documenting why this specific case needs handling, or implementing a more robust scaling approach.
62-64: Consider adding bounds checking for defensive programming.While the ceiling-division formula should theoretically cap
endatstripLen, adding an explicit guard (if (i < stripLen)orend = min(end, stripLen)) would prevent potential out-of-bounds writes if the scaling math has an edge-case flaw or if segment dimensions change unexpectedly.Apply this diff to add a safety check:
- int end = (((int)y * gifWidth + (int)x+1) * stripLen + totalImgPix-1) / totalImgPix; + int end = min((((int)y * gifWidth + (int)x+1) * stripLen + totalImgPix-1) / totalImgPix, stripLen);

Learning: In WLED segments, the backing pixel buffer is always allocated to the full physical segment size, but effect rendering only uses a subset when mirror or grouping are enabled. For 2D segments, this subset is vWidth() * vHeight(), and for 1D segments it's vLength(). Color processing operations like fade_out should iterate over this rendering subset, not the full allocated buffer.

Learning: In WLED 2D effects, SEGMENT.length() returns the physical pixel count (upper bound), while SEG_W * SEG_H can be smaller depending on mapping (mirroring/grouping). For per-cell state buffers (e.g., mode_2Dgameoflife in wled00/FX.cpp), allocate using SEGMENT.length() to ensure sufficient capacity and avoid reallocations, while bounding indexing by cols*rows.

Learning: In WLED's DDP packet handling (ws.cpp and e131.cpp), only prevent out-of-bounds memory access rather than enforcing DDP spec compliance. Don't check the 1440-byte spec limit—accept out-of-spec packets assuming correct encoding. The bounds check `maxDataIndex = c + numLeds * ddpChannelsPerLed; if (maxDataIndex > dataLen) reject` is sufficient and already covers the timecode flag case (when c=4) without needing separate validation.

65-75: LGTM: 2D path correctly preserves original nearest-neighbor scaling.The logic for multi-row segments is unchanged and correctly handles both downscaling and upscaling with nearest-neighbor interpolation.

@softhack007 you may want to cherry pick this to MM if you want full paint and matrix tool support :) |
- since we draw on a segment, we need to use virtual segment dimensions or scaling will be off when using any virtualisation like grouping/spacing/mirror etc.

Hi @DedeHai , good point I'll probably pick this one. Btw, looks like we both found the same scaling bug :-) the bug also causes wrong behaviour with "mirror" at segment level. I'm currently working on a PR to improve code quality/performance of image loader (see MoonModules#279) and I'll PR to upstream once I'm happy with test results @netmindz this PR needs to be merged soon, to avoid merge conflicts with my upcoming PR that will also touch image_loader. |

@softhack007 I have taken a closer look on speed improvements and added my take on it:
like this, if you want highest speed, use a gif that does not need "live" scaling. could even remove the static variable pre-calculation to save RAM, making scaling a tiny bit slower (but still faster than it was as double drawing is now omitted) |

Learning: In WLED, the Segment::allocateData() method already includes optimization to check if data is allocated and sufficiently sized, handling buffer reuse to reduce memory fragmentation. Adding an external check like `if (SEGENV.data == nullptr && !SEGENV.allocateData(dataSize))` is unnecessary and could be problematic, as it bypasses proper size verification.

Learning: In WLED finalizeInit() bus creation (wled00/FX_fcn.cpp), intentionally allowing memory overruns when bus configurations exceed MAX_LED_MEMORY is a deliberate design choice. The trade-off prioritizes creating buses with reduced LED counts over completely failing to create buses, which would cause no LED output and UI failures. This approach forces users to update configurations after migrating to version 0.16 while maintaining basic functionality.

74-86: 2D callback implementation looks good.The use of
vHeight()andvWidth()is correct for 2D segments per the learnings. ThelastCoordinateoptimization usingoutX + outYas a hash could theoretically have collisions, but given the scanline processing order (top-to-bottom, left-to-right), this is acceptable and provides a useful optimization to skip redundant writes.Note: If you want to add defensive boundary checks for
outX + iandoutY + jagainstvWidth()andvHeight(), it would improve safety, but the current scaling calculations should already prevent overflow.
139-145: 2D path initialization looks correct.The 2D path correctly uses
vWidth()andvHeight()for calculating scaling factors and checking dimension matches, which aligns with the learnings for 2D segment rendering.

63-72: Pre-calculatetotalImgPixoutside the callback.Line 65 recalculates
totalImgPix = gifWidth * gifHeighton every pixel draw. For a 320×320 GIF, this multiplication executes 102,400 times per frame.

Learning: In WLED's DDP packet handling (ws.cpp and e131.cpp), only prevent out-of-bounds memory access rather than enforcing DDP spec compliance. Don't check the 1440-byte spec limit—accept out-of-spec packets assuming correct encoding. The bounds check `maxDataIndex = c + numLeds * ddpChannelsPerLed; if (maxDataIndex > dataLen) reject` is sufficient and already covers the timecode flag case (when c=4) without needing separate validation.

Learning: In WLED segments, the backing pixel buffer is always allocated to the full physical segment size, but effect rendering only uses a subset when mirror or grouping are enabled. For 2D segments, this subset is vWidth() * vHeight(), and for 1D segments it's vLength(). Color processing operations like fade_out should iterate over this rendering subset, not the full allocated buffer.

47-48: Good performance optimization with per-image state.The new state variables
lastCoordinate,perPixelX, andperPixelYavoid redundant writes and eliminate repeated scaling calculations. Since only one segment can render GIFs at a time (enforced at line 104) and state is reset when loading new images (line 117), file-scope storage is appropriate.
130-145: Excellent callback selection logic and correct use ofvLength()for 1D.The code correctly:
- Uses
vLength()for 1D segment rendering (lines 140-142, and in the 1D callback), respecting virtual dimensions per the learnings- Separates 1D and 2D callbacks as suggested by @softhack007, improving code clarity
- Defers callback selection until after
startDecodingwhen GIF dimensions are available- Falls back to NoScale when dimensions exactly match for optimal performance
The separate callback approach eliminates branching in the hot path and makes future optimization easier.
Based on learnings.

@DedeHai would you mind if I simply add my other changes that I wanted to bring over from MM directly in your PR? (by maintainers superpower). This way we can keep working together directly, and code authors will still be visible. I'll leave the drawpixel functions as they are, and just add some error handling plus the additional blur slider. |

63-72: Consider adding boundary protection for upscaling edge cases.While the scaling math should prevent overflow in typical cases, adding a defensive check would improve safety:
for (int i = 0; i < perPixelX; i++) { if (start + i >= activeSeg->vLength()) break; activeSeg->setPixelColor(start + i, red, green, blue); }This guards against potential rounding edge cases in the scaling calculation and is especially prudent for embedded devices with constrained resources.

12-16: Good use of static storage for file-scoped state.Making these variables static prevents namespace pollution and follows the recommendation from previous reviews. This is appropriate for per-image state that shouldn't be accessed from other files.
Also applies to: 45-48
74-86: Clever optimization for 2D scaling works correctly.The
lastCoordinate = outX + outYsum-based check efficiently detects consecutive GIF pixels mapping to the same output coordinate. While this could theoretically collide for non-adjacent coordinates (e.g., (1,2) and (2,1)), the scanline decode order ensures this won't cause incorrect behavior. The nested loops safely usesetPixelColorXY, which has internal bounds checking.
117-145: Well-structured callback selection and initialization flow.The approach of defaulting to
NoScale, then switching to the appropriate callback afterstartDecoding()provides GIF dimensions is clean and efficient. The separation of 2D and 1D paths with their respective scaling calculations aligns with the PR objectives. The off-by-one handling at line 140 for padded 1D GIFs is a practical workaround.
* catch some error that would lead to undefined behavior * additional debug messages in case of errors * robustness: handle OOM exception from decoder.alloc() gracefully

77-86: Consider adding boundary protection for the upscaling loop.While the scaling math should prevent overflow in typical cases, adding a defensive check would improve robustness on constrained embedded devices.

Learning: In WLED finalizeInit() bus creation (wled00/FX_fcn.cpp), intentionally allowing memory overruns when bus configurations exceed MAX_LED_MEMORY is a deliberate design choice. The trade-off prioritizes creating buses with reduced LED counts over completely failing to create buses, which would cause no LED output and UI failures. This approach forces users to update configurations after migrating to version 0.16 while maintaining basic functionality.

4512-4512: Image mode metadata: Blur slider + default intensity verified ✓The renderer correctly uses
activeSeg->intensityfor blur calculations (lines 62–65 in image_loader.cpp), confirming that the "Blur" label matches actual behavior. The ix=0 default is sensible—no blur without user adjustment. Change is good to go.wled00/image_loader.cpp (5)
12-20: Good use of file-scoped static variables and PSRAM-conditional sizing.The static declarations prevent global namespace pollution, and the conditional GifDecoder sizing based on PSRAM availability is appropriate for constrained embedded devices.
59-68: Blur feature is a nice enhancement.The conditional blur logic (using
blurRowsfor lighter 2D blur andblur()for heavier amounts) provides a good performance/quality trade-off. ResettinglastCoordinateensures proper state for the next frame.
88-100: Coordinate hash is scan-order dependent but acceptable.The
lastCoordinate = outX + outYhash can technically collide (e.g., 10+0 == 5+5), but given the GIF decoder's scanline order (left-to-right, top-to-bottom as noted in line 70), collisions are unlikely in practice. At worst, a collision would skip one pixel update rather than cause memory corruption.
124-186: Excellent error handling and initialization flow.The comprehensive error handling (OOM protection with try/catch, dimension validation, file missing checks) and clear callback selection logic are well-implemented. The debug logging will aid troubleshooting, and the division-by-zero guard at lines 168-172 prevents crashes from malformed GIFs.
193-208: Frame timing and speed control logic looks solid.The frame delay calculation with compensation for slow frames (lines 204-206) ensures smooth playback even when rendering falls behind. The speed mapping (line 195) provides good user control.

🧹 Nitpick comments (5)
wled00/image_loader.cpp (5)
14-18: Consider dynamic decoder allocation to reduce idle memory footprint.The static
GifDecoderobject is always allocated in memory, even when no GIF is being displayed. For resource-constrained devices, dynamically allocating the decoder only when needed (via pointer + new/delete or unique_ptr) would free ~11-12KB of RAM when idle.However, this adds complexity (allocation failures, pointer management) and may increase heap fragmentation. The current static approach is simpler and guarantees availability.
This aligns with your earlier comment questioning whether a pointer approach would be better. The trade-off is memory efficiency vs. simplicity.
86-88: Add bounds checking for pixel writes during upscaling.When upscaling,
perPixelXdetermines how many consecutive LEDs to set per GIF pixel. Near the strip's end,start + ican exceedvLength(). While the math should prevent this in most cases, a defensive check improves safety:for (int i = 0; i < perPixelX; i++) { int pos = start + i; if (pos >= activeSeg->vLength()) break; activeSeg->setPixelColor(pos, red, green, blue); }This guards against potential rounding edge cases in the scaling calculation.
98-102: Consider bounds checking in 2D upscaling loop.Similar to the 1D callback, the nested loop could write beyond segment dimensions if rounding causes
outX + i >= vWidth()oroutY + j >= vHeight(). WhilesetPixelColorXYmay have internal bounds checking, explicit guards improve clarity and prevent reliance on implementation details:for (int i = 0; i < perPixelX; i++) { if (outX + i >= activeSeg->vWidth()) break; for (int j = 0; j < perPixelY; j++) { if (outY + j >= activeSeg->vHeight()) break; activeSeg->setPixelColorXY(outX + i, outY + j, red, green, blue); } }
142-142: Default callback assumes 1D, overridden later for 2D.Setting
drawPixelCallbackNoScale1Das the default works because it's unconditionally overridden at lines 176-191 after GIF dimensions are known. However, this creates a brief window where the callback could be invoked incorrectly if decoding starts before the callback is updated.Consider setting a safe no-op callback initially, or ensuring
startDecoding()at line 161 doesn't trigger any pixel callbacks before line 176.The current flow appears safe since
startDecoding()likely only initializes the decoder without drawing pixels, but explicit ordering or a comment would clarify intent.
186-186: Document the off-by-one padding logic.The comment explains that GIFs from 1D input pad the last pixel if odd-length, but the rationale for subtracting 1 from
totalImgPixisn't immediately clear. A more detailed comment would help:// GIFs created from 1D strips with odd length get padded to even dimensions. // When total GIF pixels exceed vLength by 1, we skip the padded pixel. if (totalImgPix - activeSeg->vLength() == 1) totalImgPix--;This improves maintainability for future developers unfamiliar with the 1D-to-GIF conversion quirk.

Learning: The WLED codebase has opportunities for refactoring hardcoded array bounds (like the "15" used for DMX channels) to use sizeof(array)/sizeof(array[0]) for more maintainable code, but such changes should be done consistently across the entire codebase in a dedicated refactoring effort.

Learning: In WLED's DDP packet handling (ws.cpp and e131.cpp), only prevent out-of-bounds memory access rather than enforcing DDP spec compliance. Don't check the 1440-byte spec limit—accept out-of-spec packets assuming correct encoding. The bounds check `maxDataIndex = c + numLeds * ddpChannelsPerLed; if (maxDataIndex > dataLen) reject` is sufficient and already covers the timecode flag case (when c=4) without needing separate validation.

Learning: In WLED, maximum segment name length varies by platform:
- ESP8266: 32 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 32)
- ESP32: 64 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 64)
This platform difference can cause truncation when syncing longer names from ESP32 to ESP8266. Additionally, the WLED UI has limitations regarding modified maximum segment name lengths.

Learning: In WLED finalizeInit() bus creation (wled00/FX_fcn.cpp), intentionally allowing memory overruns when bus configurations exceed MAX_LED_MEMORY is a deliberate design choice. The trade-off prioritizes creating buses with reduced LED counts over completely failing to create buses, which would cause no LED output and UI failures. This approach forces users to update configurations after migrating to version 0.16 while maintaining basic functionality.

42-48: Good addition of debug logging.The debug print statement and side-effect comment improve observability and code clarity.
50-53: Clear documentation of static state variables.The comments effectively explain the purpose of
lastCoordinateand scaling factors, improving maintainability.
59-68: Verify activeSeg is non-null when callback executes.The callback directly dereferences
activeSegwithout a null check. SinceactiveSegis set inrenderImageToSegmentand this callback is invoked by the decoder during frame rendering, the pointer should be valid. However, adding a defensive check would prevent potential crashes if the decoder behavior changes:void updateScreenCallback(void) { if (!activeSeg) return; // defensive guard // perfect time for adding blur if (activeSeg->intensity > 1) { // ... rest of function } lastCoordinate = -1; }This applies to all callback functions that dereference
activeSeg.
73-75: Potential issue with mirroring/grouping in 1D no-scale path.The no-scale 1D callback uses
activeSeg->width()for row stride calculation. When the segment has mirroring or grouping enabled,width() != vLength(), which could cause incorrect pixel placement.At line 188-190, this callback is selected when
totalImgPix == activeSeg->vLength(), suggesting the GIF pixel count matches the virtual length. However, the 2D-to-1D index calculationy * width() + xassumes the GIF width equals physical width, not virtual length.For a 1D segment with grouping (e.g., physical width 100, virtual length 50), a 50-pixel GIF would trigger the no-scale path but use the wrong stride.
Consider whether the condition at line 188 should compare against
width() * height()instead ofvLength(), or if the stride calculation should use a different value. The scaled 1D callback at line 83 correctly usesvLength().
148-159: Good use of exception handling for OOM.The exception guard around
decoder.alloc()gracefully handles out-of-memory conditions on platforms supporting exceptions, setting an appropriate error flag and returning a specific error code. This is a solid defensive programming practice.
171-175: Proper validation prevents division by zero.Checking for zero-width or zero-height GIFs before using these values in scaling calculations (lines 177-178, 183, etc.) prevents potential crashes. Good defensive coding.

Learning: In WLED segments, the backing pixel buffer is always allocated to the full physical segment size, but effect rendering only uses a subset when mirror or grouping are enabled. For 2D segments, this subset is vWidth() * vHeight(), and for 1D segments it's vLength(). Color processing operations like fade_out should iterate over this rendering subset, not the full allocated buffer.

For per-cell state buffers (e.g., mode_2Dgameoflife in wled00/FX.cpp), allocate using SEGMENT.length() to ensure sufficient capacity and avoid reallocations, while bounding indexing by cols*rows.

@DedeHai @coderabbitai I've checked if this recommendation will be useful, or it may even cause new problems like exceptions inside exceptions. TL;DR: not needed to call new AnimatedGIF() either:
Therefore in the catch block, calling decoder.dealloc() is not required for the failed new. It only matters if gif still pointed to a previous successfully allocated AnimatedGIF (alloc() deletes old one first, so not the case here). So: Edit: @coderabbitai, please remember this discussion, and add to your learnings that "safety" cleanup or de-allocation code should only be suggested when the library or sub-function involved is not handling cleanup after failure, during re-initialization, or other graceful exit. |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes. 🧩 Analysis chain@softhack007 Thanks for digging into this. I re-checked the code: your reasoning is correct—if new AnimatedGIF throws, no pointer is assigned and there’s nothing for decoder.dealloc() to free from this alloc() attempt. Keeping the catch lean (set flags, log, return) is the right call. To prevent future back-and-forth on this, I suggest we add a short comment above the catch documenting the allocation semantics. For example: // Note: decoder.alloc() uses `new AnimatedGIF`. If `new` throws, no pointer is assigned,
// previous decoder state remains intact (alloc() deletes old instance first), so
// calling decoder.dealloc() here is unnecessary.Optional: if we ever change alloc() internals, adding a light unit/integration test (build-time only, no device) that simulates OOM by forcing alloc() to throw and asserts that state/handles are unchanged would help guard this behavior. If you want, I can push just the clarifying comment in this PR. 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 2898 🏁 Script executed: Length of output: 3865 @softhack007 Thanks for running that. The repo uses GifDecoder (Aircoookie/GifDecoder pinned in platformio.ini) which wraps bitbank2/AnimatedGIF, so your analysis aligns with the actual dependencies. Given that, I agree: adding decoder.dealloc() in the catch is unnecessary for an alloc() throw. To prevent future re-introductions of this suggestion, how about we add a brief clarifying comment right above the catch? // decoder.alloc() ultimately uses new AnimatedGIF. If new throws, no pointer is assigned,
// previous decoder state (if any) has already been deleted inside alloc(), so calling
// decoder.dealloc() here is unnecessary. Cleanup happens in endImagePlayback().If you’re good with this, I can add just that comment to the PR. 🧠 Learnings used |

Learning: In WLED, maximum segment name length varies by platform:
- ESP8266: 32 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 32)
- ESP32: 64 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 64)
This platform difference can cause truncation when syncing longer names from ESP32 to ESP8266. Additionally, the WLED UI has limitations regarding modified maximum segment name lengths.

Learning: In WLED finalizeInit() bus creation (wled00/FX_fcn.cpp), intentionally allowing memory overruns when bus configurations exceed MAX_LED_MEMORY is a deliberate design choice. The trade-off prioritizes creating buses with reduced LED counts over completely failing to create buses, which would cause no LED output and UI failures. This approach forces users to update configurations after migrating to version 0.16 while maintaining basic functionality.

55-64: Blur hook placement looks good; reset of lastCoordinate is correct.Applying blur post-frame and invalidating the duplicate-suppression key is sound.
69-71: Flattening with gifWidth is correct for NoScale.Using y * gifWidth + x for the 1D universal path avoids mismatches between GIF row width and segment width.
165-169: Good defensive check for invalid GIF dimensions.Prevents divide-by-zero and aborts cleanly with a clear error.

118-126: Critical: Buffer overflow risk with ESP32 segment names.The buffer
lastFilename[34](line 13) cannot safely hold ESP32 segment names, which can be up to 64 characters. The current code usesstrncpywith a hardcoded limit of 32 bytes without guaranteed NUL termination, then callsstrlen()andstrcmp()which can read past the buffer boundary.Impact: On ESP32, long segment names cause out-of-bounds reads, potentially crashing or corrupting memory.
Apply this fix:
-static char lastFilename[34] = "/"; +// room for leading '/', full segment name, and NUL +static char lastFilename[1 + WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN + 1] = "/";At lines 118-119:
-if (strncmp(lastFilename +1, seg.name, 32) != 0) { // segment name changed, load new image - strncpy(lastFilename +1, seg.name, 32); +if (strcmp(lastFilename + 1, seg.name) != 0) { // segment name changed, load new image + lastFilename[0] = '/'; + size_t copied = 0; + while (seg.name[copied] && copied < WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN) { + lastFilename[1 + copied] = seg.name[copied]; + copied++; + } + lastFilename[1 + copied] = '\0';Or use
strlcpyif available in your build environment.Based on learnings about ESP32 segment name limits.
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
wled00/image_loader.cpp (2)
73-82: Consider adding defensive bounds checking for the upscaling loop.The code correctly uses
vLength()and the math should prevent overflow, but adding a boundary check would improve robustness on constrained embedded devices:void drawPixelCallback1D(int16_t x, int16_t y, uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue) { // 1D strip: load pixel-by-pixel left to right, top to bottom (0/0 = top-left in gifs) int totalImgPix = (int)gifWidth * gifHeight; int start = ((int)y * gifWidth + (int)x) * activeSeg->vLength() / totalImgPix; // simple nearest-neighbor scaling if (start == lastCoordinate) return; // skip setting same coordinate again lastCoordinate = start; + int stripLen = activeSeg->vLength(); for (int i = 0; i < perPixelX; i++) { + if (start + i >= stripLen) break; activeSeg->setPixelColor(start + i, red, green, blue); } }
84-97: Add bounds checking for 2D upscaling loops.The packed coordinate approach correctly avoids the collision issue. However, since
perPixelXandperPixelYuse ceiling division, the final tile can step past the segment edges. Add bounds checks:void drawPixelCallback2D(int16_t x, int16_t y, uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue) { // simple nearest-neighbor scaling int outY = (int)y * activeSeg->vHeight() / gifHeight; int outX = (int)x * activeSeg->vWidth() / gifWidth; // Pack coordinates uniquely: outY into upper 16 bits, outX into lower 16 bits if (((outY << 16) | outX) == lastCoordinate) return; // skip setting same coordinate again lastCoordinate = (outY << 16) | outX; // since input is a "scanline" this is sufficient to identify a "unique" coordinate // set multiple pixels if upscaling + int vW = activeSeg->vWidth(); + int vH = activeSeg->vHeight(); for (int i = 0; i < perPixelX; i++) { + if (outX + i >= vW) break; for (int j = 0; j < perPixelY; j++) { + if (outY + j >= vH) break; activeSeg->setPixelColorXY(outX + i, outY + j, red, green, blue); } } }

Learning: In WLED, maximum segment name length varies by platform:
- ESP8266: 32 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 32)
- ESP32: 64 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 64)
This platform difference can cause truncation when syncing longer names from ESP32 to ESP8266. Additionally, the WLED UI has limitations regarding modified maximum segment name lengths.

wled00/image_loader.cpp (10)
12-16: Good encapsulation with file-scoped static variables.Converting these variables to static file scope prevents namespace pollution and helps the compiler optimize. This aligns with the discussion to avoid name clashes and improve maintainability.
38-44: Helpful debug logging added.The debug print statement will aid in troubleshooting file loading issues. The side-effect comment is clear.
46-49: Appropriate state variables for callback coordination.These static variables effectively manage state between the decoder callbacks and the main rendering function.
55-64: Well-placed blur implementation.Applying blur after the decoder finishes painting all pixels is efficient. The intensity-based threshold and the optimized path for small blur amounts on 2D segments are good design choices.
69-71: Correct coordinate flattening for no-scale path.Using
gifWidthto flatten GIF coordinates is correct here. This callback is only used when GIF dimensions match segment dimensions (as verified inrenderImageToSegment), making the 1D indexing approach work correctly for both 1D and 2D segments.
142-155: Excellent error handling for OOM conditions.The exception handling for
decoder.alloc()with conditional compilation is well implemented. The clarifying comment about cleanup is helpful and correct—whennew AnimatedGIFthrows, no partial pointer is assigned, makingdecoder.dealloc()unnecessary in the catch block.
157-163: Good error handling for decoder initialization.The error checking for
startDecoding()with debug logging and proper error flag setting improves reliability.
167-171: Critical safety check prevents division-by-zero crashes.Validating that GIF dimensions are non-zero before using them in scaling calculations is essential. This prevents crashes from corrupt or malformed GIF files.
172-187: Correct callback selection logic for 1D and 2D paths.The logic correctly:
- Uses
vWidth()andvHeight()for 2D segments- Uses
vLength()for 1D segments- Calculates
perPixelX/perPixelYwith ceiling division for upscaling- Selects the appropriate callback only when scaling is needed
- Handles the off-by-one case for 1D GIFs (line 181)
The callback selection ensures optimal performance by using the NoScale fast path when possible.
201-206: Improved error handling for frame decoding.The error checking with debug logging and proper failure state management enhances reliability.

118-128: Critical: Buffer overflow risk persists with ESP32 64-character segment names.While line 121 now ensures null termination, the buffer
lastFilename[34](declared at line 13) cannot safely hold ESP32 segment names up to 64 characters. Line 120 copies up to 32 bytes, but the buffer allocation is still insufficient for the platform's maximum name length.The buffer should be sized for
1 + WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN + 1(slash, name, null). Additionally, line 118 now usesstrcmpinstead ofstrncmp, which is safer but only because of the explicit null termination at line 121. Consider usingstrlcpyfor the copy operation at line 120 for additional safety:-static char lastFilename[34] = "/"; +static char lastFilename[1 + WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN + 1] = "/"; if (strncmp(lastFilename +1, seg.name, 32) != 0) { // segment name changed, load new image strcpy(lastFilename, "/"); // filename always starts with '/' - strncpy(lastFilename +1, seg.name, 32); + strlcpy(lastFilename + 1, seg.name, sizeof(lastFilename) - 1); lastFilename[33] ='\0'; // ensure proper string termination when segment name was truncatedBased on learnings.

46-49: Consider unsigned type forlastCoordinateto avoid sign issues.Line 48 declares
lastCoordinateasint, but line 89 packs coordinates using(outY << 16) | outX. IfoutYhas bit 15 set, left-shifting a signedintcan trigger undefined behavior (signed overflow). Additionally, the packed value may appear negative, complicating comparisons.Apply this diff:
-static int lastCoordinate; // last coordinate (x+y) that was set, used to reduce redundant pixel writes +static uint32_t lastCoordinate; // last coordinate that was set, used to reduce redundant pixel writesAlso update line 135 and line 63:
- lastCoordinate = -1; + lastCoordinate = UINT32_MAX; // invalidate
73-82: Consider defensive bounds check for embedded safety.While the math should prevent
start + ifrom exceedingvLength()(sinceperPixelXis computed asceil(vLength/totalImgPix)), adding a defensive check would improve safety on resource-constrained devices and protect against edge cases in the scaling calculation.Apply this diff:
void drawPixelCallback1D(int16_t x, int16_t y, uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue) { // 1D strip: load pixel-by-pixel left to right, top to bottom (0/0 = top-left in gifs) int totalImgPix = (int)gifWidth * gifHeight; int start = ((int)y * gifWidth + (int)x) * activeSeg->vLength() / totalImgPix; // simple nearest-neighbor scaling if (start == lastCoordinate) return; // skip setting same coordinate again lastCoordinate = start; + int stripLen = activeSeg->vLength(); for (int i = 0; i < perPixelX; i++) { + if (start + i >= stripLen) break; activeSeg->setPixelColor(start + i, red, green, blue); } }
84-97: Add bounds checking for upscaling to prevent edge overstep.When upscaling,
perPixelXandperPixelYuse ceiling division (lines 175-176, 184), so the last output tile can extend past segment edges. WhilesetPixelColorXYmay handle this internally, defensive bounds checks improve reliability on embedded platforms.Apply this diff:
void drawPixelCallback2D(int16_t x, int16_t y, uint8_t red, uint8_t green, uint8_t blue) { // simple nearest-neighbor scaling int outY = (int)y * activeSeg->vHeight() / gifHeight; int outX = (int)x * activeSeg->vWidth() / gifWidth; // Pack coordinates uniquely: outY into upper 16 bits, outX into lower 16 bits if (((outY << 16) | outX) == lastCoordinate) return; // skip setting same coordinate again lastCoordinate = (outY << 16) | outX; // since input is a "scanline" this is sufficient to identify a "unique" coordinate + int vW = activeSeg->vWidth(); + int vH = activeSeg->vHeight(); // set multiple pixels if upscaling for (int i = 0; i < perPixelX; i++) { + if (outX + i >= vW) break; for (int j = 0; j < perPixelY; j++) { + if (outY + j >= vH) break; activeSeg->setPixelColorXY(outX + i, outY + j, red, green, blue); } } }

Learning: In WLED segments, the backing pixel buffer is always allocated to the full physical segment size, but effect rendering only uses a subset when mirror or grouping are enabled. For 2D segments, this subset is vWidth() * vHeight(), and for 1D segments it's vLength(). Color processing operations like fade_out should iterate over this rendering subset, not the full allocated buffer.

Learning: In WLED 2D effects, SEGMENT.length() returns the physical pixel count (upper bound), while SEG_W * SEG_H can be smaller depending on mapping (mirroring/grouping). For per-cell state buffers (e.g., mode_2Dgameoflife in wled00/FX.cpp), allocate using SEGMENT.length() to ensure sufficient capacity and avoid reallocations, while bounding indexing by cols*rows.

Don't check the 1440-byte spec limit—accept out-of-spec packets assuming correct encoding. The bounds check `maxDataIndex = c + numLeds * ddpChannelsPerLed; if (maxDataIndex > dataLen) reject` is sufficient and already covers the timecode flag case (when c=4) without needing separate validation.

Learning: WLED's heap panic recovery in the main loop intentionally prioritizes UI functionality over complete system reinitialization. Strip reinitialization may be deliberately skipped during heap panic as a last-resort measure to free enough memory to maintain a working UI.

Learning: In WLED’s web UI, only one slider value (e.g., SEGMENT.intensity or SEGMENT.custom1) changes at a time; code relying on this may use simplified change guards, though presets/JSON can still update multiple fields atomically.

Learning: ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms have different maximum segment name lengths in WLED, which can cause truncation when syncing segment names between devices. This platform difference affects the user experience when using the segment name sync feature.

Learning: In WLED, maximum segment name length varies by platform:
- ESP8266: 32 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 32)
- ESP32: 64 characters (WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN = 64)
This platform difference can cause truncation when syncing longer names from ESP32 to ESP8266. Additionally, the WLED UI has limitations regarding modified maximum segment name lengths.

Learning: In WLED, essential configuration files that require backup have short, controlled names (like "/cfg.json", "/presets.json") that are well within a 32-character buffer limit. The file naming is controlled by developers, making buffer overflow in backup filename construction highly unlikely.

38-44: Good debugging enhancement.The debug logging for file opening helps troubleshoot GIF loading issues in production.
55-64: Good integration of blur option.The blur implementation efficiently uses
blurRowsfor lighter blur (< 24) and falls back to the fullblurmethod for heavier amounts. The lastCoordinate invalidation ensures the next frame starts fresh.
144-157: Excellent OOM protection with clear cleanup semantics.The exception handling correctly catches allocation failures from
decoder.alloc(). The comment at lines 154-156 clearly documents why additional cleanup is unnecessary (throwingnewdoesn't assign partial pointers), addressing the earlier discussion about decoder cleanup.
159-165: Good error handling for decoder start failures.The error checking, logging, and state management properly handle decoder startup failures.
174-189: Well-structured callback selection and scaling logic.The separation of 2D and 1D paths with appropriate callback selection is clean. The off-by-one handling at line 183 for 1D GIFs constructed from odd-length input is a thoughtful edge case solution that aligns with the PR's goal of improved 1D support.
203-208: Consistent error handling for frame decoding.The error checking and logging pattern matches the startDecoding error handling, providing consistent debugging support throughout the decoding lifecycle.

@coderabbitai what is the LittleFS limit for filenames (i.e. number of chars allowed)? |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes. 🧩 Analysis chain🌐 Web query: 💡 Result: Default maximum filename length is 255 bytes (LFS_NAME_MAX). It can be changed at mount/format via lfs_config.name_max (stored in the superblock); the on-disk upper limit is 1022 bytes. [1][2][3] Sources: @softhack007 LittleFS has a default maximum filename length of 255 bytes (LFS_NAME_MAX). This limit can be configured at mount/format time via Note that these are byte limits, so for UTF-8 filenames with multi-byte characters, the actual character count may be lower. For typical ASCII filenames (like the GIF files in this PR), 255 characters is the practical default limit. 🧠 Learnings used |

I think apart from that name length thing, this has progressed well and is ready to be merged (after I run a test today or tomorrow). Anything you want to add/test still? |
32 => WLED_MAX_SEGNAME_LEN

for me its now good and ready, too. |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes. @softhack007 Thank you for the thorough analysis and clear explanation! You're absolutely correct about the C++ exception semantics here. Your reasoning is spot-on:
I've recorded this learning and will remember it for future reviews: "safety" cleanup or de-allocation code should only be suggested when the library or sub-function involved is not already handling cleanup after failure per its documented semantics. This principle is particularly important for embedded systems like WLED where understanding the actual resource management semantics prevents adding unnecessary (and potentially confusing) defensive code. Thank you for taking the time to investigate and document this — it helps ensure more accurate reviews going forward! 🐰 ✏️ Learnings added

Instead of showing a scaled, single line of the GIF: map the full image to the strip.
This is needed to be able to load data from GIF's instead of using the "i" JSON command and will allow to store more images/animations for 1D setups. Required for the Pixel Paint Tool and will also make support for the Matrix Tool for 1D setups possible.
