After more than 20 years, the PNG file format is receiving a comprehensive and long-overdue update, as formats like JPEG, AVIF and WebP have been offering more efficient compression and modern features. PNG Version 3 not only supports HDR but also animations.https://www.notebookcheck.net/PNG-3-is-here-and-takes-on-JPEG-with-HDR-and-animations.1047951.0.html
Please mention JPEG XL too! It's not dead! (Yet)
Still hoping royalty-free jxl to thrive after multiple years...
"Version 3 introduces a number of changes that make PNG significantly more attractive for modern use"
"Animated PNGs (also called APNGs) have existed for years and were originally developed by Mozilla. But with PNG Version 3, they are now officially part of the W3C standard and are therefore likely to be supported by far more software in the future"
Yeah, one would think, right... but trying explaining that to many software devs today e.g. KODI, ect. After all of these years, devs like KODI still refuses to full support modern formats like PNG, WebP, refuses to support gifs that's longer than 2-seconds, ect. for animated Posters or animated Fanarts, SMH!

KODI supports PNG and WebP, it even supports the dead MNG format. If you mean for posters, you need to use .apng format.
As for limit in time, I think there was some buffer overflow issues with too many animated stuff.
PS KODI is open source, anything you want to change feel free to

That's like saying... "hey, that's your vehicle... 'feel free' to task yourself of all PM services & future repairs." 😏
Nah. No thank you. There are much better/STABLE media centers, today that works, than half-butt KODI... and the rude wannabe elite devs/mods there that snap on any user at the simplest discussion?! Oh... heck no! IMO, KODI (XBMC) died with the sunset of the OG Xbox.
