Question / Help Browser Source Problems in OBS Studio v19

Hey guys, hoping someone can help me.
Before the last patch for OBS Studio I had an animated GIF with transparency that worked as a browser source (you could see through the transparency). After the latest update that is no longer the case. Instead you see a grid instead of the transparency (like you would in PhotoShop).

Is there another way to display an animated GIF with transparency in OBS Studio? I was happy with browser source handling it but with the latest release for some reason that doesn't work anymore.

Thanks in advance for any answers to this head scratcher.

Something changed in chromium where the auto-generated html when loading a gif directly will show the transparency like you mentioned. You need to embed the gif in html and load that.
Media and image source can also read animated gifs
