Missing background image with JPEG image files

[rendam]

When using the attached images as background hyprlock fails to load them and instead shows a gray or transparent background. The file size does not seem to be a problem, as PNG files with up to ~7MB are rendering fine. First I thought it has something to do with the mismatch of screen resolution 3440x1440 and image pixels but resizing it in GIMP did not change a thing. Only until I lossy compressed the resized image did it render.

My log and config: hyprlock.log

source = ~/.cache/wal/colors-kitty.conf

I also tried to compress the JPEG image, it didn't work but when converting it to PNG it worked without needing to compress. Maybe change this in the wiki for now till someone finds a fix for this

[JoelAlphonso]

Same here can't seem to be able to use any JPEG images using the latest 0.3.0-1 release

Same here, convert jpg to png is a workaround. When using jpg, one monitor shows a black background, but another one show original content as background(I have two monitor).

Same thing happening here. Converting to png is temporary solution.
