Just installed this and the JPEG pictures with Metadata load, but not the HEIC ones.

What is HEIC?

tacruc avatar Feb 26 '20 20:02 tacruc

Heic is the extension for the pictures taken on an iOS device.

Well we're resticted on the format support un php_exiv or the library pel. Tell your iOS to use a standard format like jpg.

I found this ticket about adding HEIC support to php: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77757

i was able to get the HEIC pictures to show on the gallery and show thumbnails after modifying a bit imagick following this link: https://medium.com/@eplt/5-minutes-to-install-imagemagick-with-heic-support-on-ubuntu-18-04-digitalocean-fe2d09dcef1.

on web browser, the metadata is not shown, but on the ios app it is.

bummed that this doesn't work with HEIC images. Here's hoping PHP fixes that or some other workaround is found

There seems to be a way to read exif data from heic images, see: https://github.com/gino0631/nextcloud-metadata - this plugin shows heic image metadata.

+1 to @tomhub suggestion. @tacruc, could you please spend a little time to revise and re-estimate this FR? It could be easier now to implement this.

+1 to this feature request. πŸš€

Today, HEIC format can be selected as default image format for the phone camera on many Android smartphones (Samsung in my case) too. I'm using it, as it saves ~40% space compared to JPG at same or even better quality. Using libmagickcore-6.q16-6-extra I was able to add full support with Nextcloud (e.g. preview generation) for HEIC images. All I'm missing now is Maps support. Thx in advance.

I agree. Almost all and all my new photos are in HEIC. I can view them in NC with ImageMagick. So I can't use this nice app until there is HEIC support.

+1 to this feature request. It's 2023, HEIC uses less storage providing better quality.

Finally, I've found https://github.com/pulsejet/memories and it seems it covers almost everything I need. Moreover, it allows h265 playback in the browser: HLS + hardware accelerated transcoding on the fly.

I was excited to see an update to maps today, but unfortunately there is no HEIC support still.

Let's throw "AI" into the name, and it will be implemented tomorrow… /s

In seriousness, thank you for all of your hard work and effort.

This is basically the issue which needs to be solved to implemt it with little work. With more work I would suggest to move to Nextcloud core metadata feature and lat that handle the metadata extraction. This is on my to-do list but not yet scheduled yet.
