Animated background file size restriction?

$

Hey all, hoping there is someone that can shed some light on an issue I have encountered.

I am trying to use a 10 second movie as my home background by converting it to an animated GIF.
The resulting GIF is of a significant file size (around 300 MB).

When I select it as the background, it only displays about a second of it.

If I downsize the image (I'm testing this out by lowering the resolution) a longer bit of it plays.
At 100MB about 2.5-3 seconds play, at 35MB arount 6 seconds play.
It is however of an unusably low resolution (240p).


Does anyone know it this is a restriction in the library that handles the animated GIFS? Hardware should be more than enough (have 3.5GB free memory, CPU load is at most 10% on the home page with the image playing).
Is there some advanced setting that can increase this limit?


Grateful for any answers.
