FreeBSD HEIC support

[slaver666 6]

Hi. I have FreeBSD 14 and Emby Server 4.9.0.5 installed as a package.

Jpeg images look fine. But heic format is not supported. I've tried to install ImageMagick7-nox11 that has build in heic support. It didn't help. ImageMagick6 also has build in heic support anyway.

There were no such heic problems with Ubuntu 22.04 server.

According to server logs ffmpeg can't convert HEIC images.

Build in ffmpeg also can't convert image

libheif is installed

Devs will have to comment as I don't know the platform but Windows is using libvips for processing

example from my Windows system

But your platform does not appear to have it and skia appears to fail.

As I told before my Ubuntu server also has no problems with HEIC.

And do you have a log for it as I would suspect what I have already posted secondard image processor.  But since platform packages are build per their platform I will guess there is possible a build issue but the builders will have to comment as Skia does not appear to do what you need and that is the only processor,  

Unless Libvibs is something the user can add to the platform.

FreeBSD has vips image processor. But it would be nice to have a confirmation from developers that I really need 635 MiB more space fro this.

Yes although in the coming months we'll hopefully be dropping imagemagick as a requirement.

[slaver666 6]

Thanks for information. Unfortunately ImageMagick is not the highest space consumer in the list above. It needs only 35 Mb. All other packages are default requirements for vips in FreeBSD. If only you can advise what requirements really needed to compile from ports.

Everything that is marked as a dependency for the package is there for a reason, and it is kept up to date and things are removed when they are no longer used.

[Luke 42077]

But when we do get to the removal of imagemagick, that also applies to GraphMagick, it has a lot of dependencies itself so I think the actual reduction will turn out to be more than that.

I've installed vips package but it didn't help. I even don't see any mention in logs about vips image processor. So I don''t sure server use it.

Please attach the complete emby server log file. Thanks.

[Happy2Play 9780]

Not sure what happened in that log as it start out full of NUL.  But need to see a log from startup, not a rollover/rotated log.

[slaver666 6]

embyserver.txtSorry. I've removed vips package. I'm going to install it again and give you full log.

[slaver666 6]

I've installed vips again but emby doesn't see libvips. May be I should install another dependency?

Hi, can you walk me through the process you used to install Emby Server on this machine?

[slaver666 6]

Hi. I used installation instructions from this page: https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html
After dependencies installation I used the command:
pkg add -f https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.9.0.5/emby-server-freebsd14_4.9.0.5_amd64.pkg

[slaver666 6]

Emby Server has been updated to 4.9.0.7 today. Problem still exists.

FYI, the packages we ship (as in those not the one from the ports tree) come with their own vips build, you don't need to install it on your system. The issue probably comes from a soname bump in one of its dep, a simple rebuild on our end should do the trick, and I'll see if I can statically link the culprit so it doesn't happen again.

[slaver666 6]

Thanks for reply! I've noticed that installation dependencies for FreeBSD were supplemented with dotnet package which takes a lot of space as well as vips package. I thought that dotnet is shipped with Emby Server package itself.

[alucryd 315]

Dotnet was shipped self-contained previously, because we had to use unofficial freebsd builds of dotnet 6.0, but now that it is available in the ports tree, it's better to depend on it so you can get dotnet updates and security fixes without the need to update emby itself. We just have to be careful when dotnet 8 will inevitably get replaced with dotnet 9, hopefully freebsd will keep 8 in the ports tree, or we will revert to a self-contained build.

Emby Server has been updated to 4.9.0.8. Problem still here.
