[Tex/LaTex] animate does not animate files in beamer although compilation works

animatebeamer

I want to add an animation (slideshow over ~70 files) to my beamer presentation. The compilation with pdflatex works fine, but the resulting pdf only shows the first image of the animation (or whatever is specified as poster).

Providing a MWE will not work well here, but I used something like this:

\documentclass[xcolor=dvipsnames]{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[american, ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{animate}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Dynamik}
    \centering
    \animategraphics[
        autoplay,
        loop,
        poster=last,
        height=.7\textheight
    ]{1}{./graphics/animation/anim}{1}{10}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

I used Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to view the files, and I was able to the the working animations in the animate pdf. I am using Miktex with pdflatex, all packages have been updated to the latest version.

A short comment-driven discussion and a much appreciated compilation help of @Ondrian revealed, that the latex code works fine. The problem has to be somewhere in the compilation chain.
I tried both with pdfs and pngs, so the file type of the to-be-animated images does not seem to be relevant.
I already updated all relevant packages and refreshed the Miktex file name database and the format files. I really don't know where to start with this. Any help?

Edit: You can download test files for the animation here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0wu1kvvnsguflz0/AACvlCLGPWwFjJSjZbT79uMka?dl=0

Different AR versions seem to behave differently with regard to PageOpen/PageVisible events which are used to initialise the animation. Some fire the latter, others the former when a page is navigated to in AR.

Un update [2016/02/28] which evaluates both events, such that none of them is missed, is on the way to CTAN.
