'Setting MauiSplashScreen tag on MyMauiProject.csproj with a mp4 file throw null exception from Resizetizer/SkiaSharpBitmapTools, looks hardcoded trash

Setting the MauiSplashScreen tag inside my net6.0 MyMauiProject.csproj pointing to a mp4 file makes it throw a null exception from Resizetizer/SkiaSharpBitmapTools. It looks like hardcoded trash from Microsoft. I don't even have a 'D:' drive on my machine, just 'C:', but the error points to D:\a\1\s\src\SingleProject\Resizetizer\src\SkiaSharpBitmapTools.cs:line 29 , a project I never created.

Was searching like a crazy on google, but there is nothing about it.
Even after it changes back to a gif and also changes to a svg, the error stays there.
Thinking about recreating the project and copying my source code to see if it fixes it, but I cant do it every time and that isn't a good solution.
I'm on a tight deadline project. I can't do in on Xamarin Forms because MS is discontinuing it and looks I can't do on MAUI too.

When clicking on the error, the IDE points to:

<!-- Resize the images -->
<ResizetizeImages
    PlatformType="$(ResizetizerPlatformType)"
    IntermediateOutputPath="$(_MauiIntermediateImages)"
    InputsFile="$(_ResizetizerInputsFile)"
    Images="@(MauiImage->Distinct())">
</ResizetizeImages>

I never ever touched on this block.
Closing and opening Visual Studio/Project doesnt fix it either.
It looks like it's pointing to here.

Another person had a related error here, the solution was reinstall all environment.
I Think you realized the error isnt with your code but with: C:\Users\MySelf\.nuget\packages\microsoft.maui.resizetizer.sdk\6.0.101-preview.11.2349

I had exactly the same issue. The problem was that I had a non-image file (ie a file called list.txt) in the Resources/Images folder.

Removing the file fixed the issue and the code ran correctly.
