HEIF Decoder addon

Ekdahl · September 15, 2019 at 12:47 PM

Hi,

I'm trying to get HEIF/HEIC support to be able to view the photos from the latest generation of smartphones. Apparently there is an addon for Kodi:

But I'm unable to find the addon for installation in LibreELEC (possibly because of its dependency to a natively compiled library).

Can someone please give me a hint, is it possible to get HEIF support in LibreELEC (without building the addon myself)?

Did you implement it because I have the same issue.

I just installed the last beta 9.1.501.

Thanks

sorry forgot to report, the addon should be at the repo, haven't manually checked because I forgotten about it

Thanks a lot for your quick reply !

I had to update the repo to see the addon it in the list.

I just installed it but I can't see any image in this format.

Do I have to do another thing ?

I just installed it and it worked, you have somename.heic images yes ?

I used this file to test testppic.zip (needs extraction)
