B&W images render blurry on the Ipad
Just this week there has been a change where the Pwigo IOS app renders black and white images blurry. Colour images don’t seem to be affected. If I use the mobile browser on the website running Piwigo, the pictures render just fine. The same Piwigo app on my IPhone also renders b&w images blurry.
Update beta fix tested, looks good! 5 starsShow lessJRadnor

Many thanks for your feedback 👍I give up
I give up on Piwigo. Have been running a server with Piwigo since at least 2014 or earlier. Now on mobile the pictures only display momentarily. Uploads have stopped. Time to cut losses and move the files to something else while the backups and originals still exist.
Enjoyed it while it lasted. Thanks.Show lessCasselmanCanada

We are sorry to learn that you plan to give up. The upload management has not changed for months and one reason for which the app does not upload photos might be because the Low Power mode is enabled. When this mode is enabled, the app stops uploading photos because uploads can be very energy consuming. A message is displayed at the top of the upload queue to inform the user but that seems to be insufficient and we are going to improve things.Bug
Bug sévère après un upload qui a foiré. Après suppression d’une photo, celle-ci réapparaît en plusieurs exemplaires dans la galerie. J’ai eu beau la supprimer encore et encore, elle réapparaît toujours. Je suis rendu à 32 duplicatas. Déconnecter de l’appli semble avoir réglé le problème.Shogix

Désolé pour les désagréments causés. C’est la première fois qu’on nous retourne ce type d’erreur et nous n’arrivons pas à le reproduire. Pourriez-vous s’il vous plaît nous envoyer un rapport plus détaillé par e-mail pour nous aider à le régler (via Contactez-nous dans la page Réglages)?Mr martin
Absolutely love this program, uploads straight from my phone.
Very flexible and I love the fact that you can organise your photos online.
Just had an email from support which was super fast another star for service.
Would recommend to anyone.
Keep it upPmartin172

Thank you very much Mr martin! Enjoy Piwigo and do not hesitate to contact us again if needed.No support for Live Photos? Or .MOV?
The app itself is really nice, I wish I could make the web ui as user friendly as the app.
But of the few test uploads I did none of my Live Photos were uploaded with the “live” portion. My photos were apparently converted from HEIC to jpeg. And all of the .MOV files I tried uploading failed with an orange exclamation mark…
Im hoping this is just a bug or a setting I messed up. But it’s not looking that way…Show lessRelikLink

Today, only the photo of a Live Photo is uploaded to a Piwigo server because the VideoJS extension is not installed on servers by default. Photos are converted to JPEG because servers are not compatible with HEIC. We foresee to bring an option allowing to select whether the photo and/or video of a Live Photo should be uploaded. This will require the installation of the VideoJS extension. Please note that you can upload videos if VideoJS is installed on your Piwigo server (HEIF videos will be converted to MP4 before uploading).Great app
I really love this app. I have a feature request and was wondering how difficult it would be to implement.
I would love the ability to browse a picture in Photos, and then open the picture in Piwigo to upload it to my gallery. The problem I currently have is that it is not as smooth to scroll through nand find picture in the upload screen in Piwigo as compared to Photos. Hope this makes sense.
Thank you.Show lessQuitchat

Thank you for your review and the suggestion which is in our to-do list.A Great Alternative to Less Private Apps and Services
Piwigo has a lot of features built in and can be extended using plugins. I think where Piwigo really shines is In it’s ability to be more privacy focused. Purchasing hosting provided by the group behind Piwigo themselves is a great way to support the company and the product they have made, but you also have the option to self host all your photos and link the app to that computer. Some other great features built into the app itself is the ability to strip the uploaded photos of metadata which is also nice in not sharing location data and other information if for lets say a family member posts one of your shared photos online. Anyway, a great app and I wanted to support it by writing this review.Show lessnextcloud123

We appreciate very much your review which motivates us to pursue our efforts in improving Piwigo. Thank you very much. 👍Images stuck uploading for hours, even after phone restart
Images I selected to upload to my website are still pending hours later. I even restarted my phone, deleted the select images, closed the app several times. Nothing helps — they’re still pending. Gonna try a reinstall.some random broke person
