[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

And some photospheres rendered wrong because they are not fully 360 captured and algorithm stitches existing parts together over black uncaptured areas

[dmitry-brazhenko]

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

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.
