I have somewhat the same issue. I can change my own skin in Java and other players can see it, but they can't change their own skins and I can't see their actual skins. I haven't confirmed if it's animated skins only or it's affecting all bedrock players.

From the way you describe this GamerLozer45, it doesn't sound like the same issue as linsaftw is having.

[Tim203]

The current version of the skin converter does indeed not support an animated body, and because of how the format works you instead see nothing. Animated heads are implemented (it shows the first frame) and the animated body would be implemented in a similar way in the future.
The global api (where the skin converter is part of), is currently being rewritten an because of that no new features are being added to the current version. So after the rewrite is finished (and has been running successfully for a bit), this feature can be implemented.
I however currently do not have an ETA for that rewrite.

[GamerLozer45]

Is there any alternatives I can use? I tried using the Geyser Skin Management and the skin restorer but the results were the same. I might be using it wrong, but I haven't see any solve regarding my issue.

Thank you man, really appreciate it. Do you have a board and the repo with to-do stuff so I can get into the development of this?

[Tim203]

It's currently in a private repo, but I should be able to make it public in a few days.
It also currently doesn't have a board. I should be able to make one for that as well.
I'll post an update here once that's done.
