[BUG] Panorama images are rendered as photospheres

[AndreAle94]

The bug

The panorama feature introduced in the latest release is loading all images with ProjectionType=equirectangular EXIF tag as photospheres (360 images). This is working fine for photospheres but not for standard panoramas.

See the example below (taken with GCam):

• Original image:
  

• How it's rendered:
  

Not sure the library used is compatible with non-360 images, but maybe it's better to avoid rendering this type of images in 360 mode. In my opinion, a possible approach could be checking if <XMP-GPano:IsPhotosphere>True</XMP-GPano:IsPhotosphere> tag is present in metadata.

@dmitry-brazhenko Can you help take a look at this issue? Thank you

[dmitry-brazhenko]

I will have a look

[dmitry-brazhenko]

Well I understood the problem. Looks like that the viewer that I used is not the best one :(

Thank you so much for reporting @AndreAle94

I will explore other panorama viewers and will update it

[dmitry-brazhenko]

We can assign this bug to me - I will do my best to fix it

@dmitry-brazhenko Hey, I was wondering if you had this time to look into this issue yet?
What photosphere library is currently being used? This one seems pretty promising: https://photo-sphere-viewer.js.org/

(Although, I am not sure if it will also work with partial photospheres/panormas that are not fully enclosed, as shown in the linked issue above).

Actually it works with partial panoramas. Here is the demo https://photo-sphere-viewer.js.org/demos/basic/cropped-panorama.html

Hi!

Thanks for sharing.
As far as I see, Photo-Sphere-Viewer is not compatbile with svelte. I am not very good in frontend technologies. Is it possible to integrate it if there is no svelte package?

I will check it myself, but advice is appreciated

[alex-007]

@dmitry-brazhenko I know nothing about svelte. But I googled and see an example how to use photo sphere viewer and sveltekit here. May be this would be helpful

[dmitry-brazhenko]

Seems I understood how to fix this. I am looking into it

[dmitry-brazhenko]

[dmitry-brazhenko]

Here is PR with a fix: #6992

I was able to utilize Photo-Sphere-Viewer and it is more flexbile viewer

@dmitry-brazhenko hey has this been rolled into the docker image yet? Last update there is from 11 days ago. Facing the same issue right now in Immich, so I am wondering when this would be available.

Hello @nicoKoehler!

I am just contributor to immich, not maintainer. Usually they release every 1-2 weeks, but I just merged the changed 2 days ago.
Here is a release history: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases

[nicoKoehler]

@dmitry-brazhenko thank you for the answer. I saw your merge but did not know what the release schedule was. I will keep an eye out for the new version then.
