Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The source image cannot be decoded.

See original GitHub issue

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The source image cannot be decoded. Any idea why? It works for other images.

Thank you for making this JavaScript script. I am using the yall-2.0.1.min.js file.

Thank you for merging that in.

I think you are right about removing image decode. I saw this: “Decoding of large images can block the main thread for hundreds of milliseconds or more, interrupting fluid animations and user interaction. Currently, there’s no way for a web author to specify that they want an image to be decoded asynchronously, so there are scenarios where it is impossible to avoid UI stalls.” https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1920

I’m sorry you’re having this kind of trouble. It’s starting to make me wonder if async decoding is worth the trouble. 🤕

If at any point you could share the code, let me know. I haven’t received this error, but just because no one else has said anything doesn’t make me think this isn’t a potential problem.

I’ll keep this issue open for the foreseeable future in case anyone else is having trouble. In the meantime, try this unofficial build which removes async image decoding: yall-2.0.3.min.js.zip

Best of luck!
