Description

When Opening a CR2 RAW Picture (Source: Canon EOS 400D) from my external USB Drive with the RAW Image Decoder Plugin, Libreelec looks like freezing and after a while it restarts Libreelec (assumption because welcome screen appears again). No thumbnail neither any "exif" data is shown.

Tested with my Raspberry Pi 3 and the latest RAW Image Decoder Plugin from Official Repository:

  • v8.95.2 Beta
  • v8.90.009 Alpha
  • v8.90.007 Alpha

Opening the same image on a Debian Desktop or Windows 10 image viewer works.

A Libreelec Forum Member also tried it with the following result:

Klojum: Your demo picture doesn't load for me in Kodi 18RC4 in Ubuntu Linux 1604. Kodi doesn't crash, but there is no thumbnail and no picture displayed. It does display on Ubuntu's own picture viewer, just lots of error entries in the log and this is spammed numerous times quite a lot...

Attached you find the image (*.CR2) and the log files in the *.zip: kodilog.zip

Thanks in advance

Research direction

Start at the RAW Image Decoder Plugin entry point, reproduce the failure with the attached Canon CR2 image, and inspect kodilog.zip for the decoder errors. Done means opening the image no longer freezes or restarts LibreELEC, and thumbnail and EXIF data are available as expected.
