HEIF - Faunt - 2024-07-12
Is HEIF going to be supported soon? I read a couple of threads like heif-photo-support and heif-support that talked about it in 2023 but I cannot find anything more recent. Anyone have a clue?
RE: HEIF - crobibero - 2024-07-12
The library we use (SkiaSharp) doesn’t have HEIF support, so Jellyfin doesn’t have support. I briefly looked into adding support but it looked like it was going to be a fairly invasive change so I put it on hold.

just started with Jellyfin. Came for the ease of photo sharing alongside media.
If the goal is to keep photo sharing as a feature, this is required. HEIC is not just apple and the main competitor in this space (Immich) has this support.

I would hardly call Immich a competitor to Jellyfin. I recommend just using Immich if your goal is to backup and share photos.
RE: HEIF - tangoTH - 2024-11-28
The original goal for me was to share media in my household, video and images included.
As one of my use cases is to share photos and jellyfin claims this, I do think immich is a competitor here. This competitior has HEIC support.
Would rather not have two different systems so i'm hoping Jellyfin will add this support.
