Import from server : some errors (wide picture or mp4-mov video)

[keops62]

(first, sorry for my french english)

Leaving FlickR ($!§%$) I decided to make my own Lychee 3.2.7 server under a dedicated Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server.
LAMP 7.2's PHP.ini was set with Lychee's FAQ informations (picture + video), upload max set to twice more ;-)
My workstation is under MS Windows 10 64bits with FireFox 54.0 64bits to navigate in Lychee web frontend.
I worked on local LAN to access to Lychee 's server (FireFox or SSH).

I sorted my backup (more than 8 000 files) with a Lazarus FreePascal homemade software to get all my pictures in subdrectories as albums (154) from json files ...
I sent all this old FlickR folder on Ubuntu server and then copy it (care) into Lychee/uploads/import directory.
Not successfull :
I discovered some hours after beginning that Lychee freezed after some Albums made ... with no feedback/error shown !

So I moved directories from uploads/import to get them back here step by step, 3 directories by 3 directories to locate errors, trying not to sent more thant 150 files each time.

In Logs, I just read the same errors (not a lot) :
2018-12-23 14:07:00 - error - Lychee\Modules\Import::server (170) - Could not import folder. Function returned warning

Else I read just notice like :
2018-12-25 10:00:34 - notice - Lychee\Modules\Photo::add (242) - Skipped adjustment of photo (img_3696_14920641556_o)
2018-12-25 10:00:35 - notice - Lychee\Modules\Photo::createMedium (536) - No resize (image is too small)!

I discovered that large panoramic pictures (more than 9000x700px and 3Gb) made Lychee freeze : I had to update page by F5 key. As shown, no error about it in Logs.
I think it's the only real reason to freeze, except maybe too much files to treat (not sure at all).

I discovered too that video files were not imported :
no error shwon but Albums were free of videos (mp4, mov !)
Simple File import to Lychee works fine with video files.
I just got a normal error in Logs when I tried to sent an AVI file :
2018-12-25 17:37:09 - error - Lychee\Modules\Photo::add (142) - Photo format not supported

I hope this will be helpfull.

Just a need :
I think it would be great for "import from server" to have a progress feedback to view if a problem is occuring/occured.

A great THANK YOU for your wonderfull job !
It's helping me to save my pictures and to be able to share them (or not).
It motivated me to finally build my own Ubuntu server, learning a lot more than I did with some desktop Ubuntu I tried for pleasure.
Lychee was my own Christmas' present ;-)

I wish you all a merry Chrsitmas and an hapy new year !

3Gb like 3 GigaByte ?

We already solved some troubles with Imagick but I don't know if the same troubles appear with GD. I still need to have a second look because I don't like the idea of GD being a solution over Imagick if the picture is too big.

Did you tried to do an upload via the browser instead of putting the files in import and importing them?

I did not work on the video files, so i don't know how they interact with import.
@clementlamoureux can you have a look ?

Glad that you like the software. I'm currently working on solving issues #152 #149 #154 #51

Hye

Oups : 3 Mb indeed !

I now tried to upload the panoramic picture via browser and get instantly a feedback error (red) telling me (translation from French) "Server returned an unkown answer" and to look at Logs but nothing written in.
If you want the picture to test I attached it at this message.

Good luck for bug tracking ! with success I'm sure ;-)

I dont't see the link to the picture (maybe my "old" Firefox ;-) ),
So I set it in GD with Diagnostics and Log parts :

@keops62 I just tried on my personal server (running https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee-Laravel which aims to be the next big version of Lychee). I did not get any error.

I will try on a normal installation now.

@keops62 I do see it breaking on a normal installation. :( I don't really have the time to hunt for that bug. May I advise you to switch to Lychee-Laravel. You won't be disappointed. :)
