MBSki 1114 Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 Just now, Luke said: It's still not supported by the graphics library that we're using, but we're following it. Has there been any ETA from that particular graphics library? Years seems to be a long time not to support a standard image format.

So the next thing is the SkiaSharp library will have to update to milestone 78: https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp It is currently on 68. So now the latest releases are using milestone 80 since beginning of July. Is it possible to support HEIC then? 1
Luke 42077 Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 Well we have updated, but i tested and it's still not supported. We may have to look at other options at some point.

MBSki 1114 Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 @Luke Are you investigating other options besides Skia to support HEIC photos?
Luke 42077 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 It's on the to do list of our package developer to explore building an heic library and see if skia picks it up for use. There's very little documentation about it but I saw a developer comment that suggested it might be possible.
MBSki 1114 Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 @Luke Any progress on heic support? Would really be nice if we could see these in Emby.
speedingcheetah 39 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Was hoping to be able to use Emby as a front end to view my my iPhone photos from pCloud that the phone uploads them to , since their app and web browser does not support viewing or showing thumbnails of HEIC at all....but alas, neither does Emby (or Plex it seems) which I find extremely odd, since i read that HEIC, a far better format for images, has been the default on Apple devices for many years. Stupid iphone does not have the separate settings for camera (images) and Video. I want HEVC video files, but High Efficiency mode locks Images into HEIC, and changing it to compatible, then makes images .jpg, but then uses h264 for videos. Forcing HDR videos does give me HEVC, but, I do not have any HDR tv or monitor, so the videos do not look right, so I can not use HDR.
MBSki 1114 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Agreed, @Lukeit's been awhile. Can you provide an update? When will Emby get heic support?
MBSki 1114 Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 @Luke Can you please provide an update? You mentioned 4 months ago that you were going to look into building an heic library to incorporate into skia. What's the status? did you build the library yet?
ocxoocxo 1 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Is there any progress on HEIC support or should we plan to continue with HEIC -> JPG conversion workarounds for the foreseeable future? Thanks! 1

ThePaladinTech 22 Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 Well looks like skia hasn't added this yet? https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/1700
MBSki 1114 Posted May 26, 2022 Posted May 26, 2022 I thought Luke said Emby would have to customize instead of using skia for heic support. @Luke Can you add heic support separate from skia?
pir8radio 1312 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Posted August 16, 2022 On 5/26/2022 at 9:17 PM, Luke said: It's on the to do list. I constantly get iphone warnings due to my photos eating up all of my apple cloud space, they want me to buy more space.. Would be worth it for some just to use emby as an auto photo storage system... but you dont support HEIC photos... I just started using emby for this auto upload from my phone to clear out the apple cloud space.. Please add HEIC support.. even though its on the TO DO LIST, can we move this to the DONE list? 1

Luke 42077 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 This will be testable in the next 4.8 beta. Thanks.
