Photos: folder thumb not shown in correct orientation in comparison to slideshow and image list view

[bigcookie]

Describe the bug title pictures of the shown folder which contains the pictures are respecting the EXIF rotation information wrongly. E.g. I do have pictures, which contain the rotation flag "CW 90". All application I tried show the correct orientation (Irfanview on Windows, Preview/Xee on Macos). The picture itself is shown with correct orientation in Jellyfin when being opened. The exmaple picture should be rotated 90° CW according to EXIF, but it is shown wrongly rotated (90° CCW).

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: QNAP QTS (Debian derivative)
• Virtualization: docker
• Clients: Safari browser 13.1.1
• Browser: Safari browser 13.1.1
• Jellyfin Version: 10.5.5
• Playback: None (Picture view)
• Installed Plugins: Kodi plugin
• Reverse Proxy: None
• Base URL: None
• Networking: Host
• Storage: local server

To Reproduce

1. Upload pictures with titled orientation and correct EXIF information describing the required rotation. Make sure the first image is the one which requires rotation
2. Create library with the new picture folder and scan
3. Check created "thumbnails" which are shown in the folder view

Expected behavior Thumbnails used in the folder view should respect the orientation of the image the same way like the image list/slideshow

Logs None

Additional context Pictures have been shot with an iPhone 7 or iPhone 8, standard camera app, standard settings.

Verified the issue: rotating the image according to exif information and cleaning up the rotation flag to "top left" (no rotation required), fixed the issue. I consider this a workaround (I dont want to go through all 20k photos - even by batch processing, as you need to do this then for all new photos etc). This should be hopefully an easy fix, as all other display locations respect the flag already. Either this is respected while displaying the thumb or creating it. As today all cameras provide this information and all OSs are respecting it, Jellyfin should respect the exif based auto-rotaton everywhere.

I can confirm the same bug in 1.6.2.

Using now version 10.6.2 - same issue. Server: QNAP TS-653B Version: 10.6.2 Operating System: Linux Architecture: X64

Here are some more example fotos - no screenshots, in case this helps:

This is the result, when putting both into a folder in the photo library:

I installed JellyFin 10.7.7 and this is still an issue. The rotation flag doesn't seem to be used for the Primary photo for the photo album. In the album itself the photo is properly rotated. When uploading a photo as the Primary photo for the photo album the drag and drop will show the photo correctly rotated but when hitting upload it will be displayed incorrectly.

Looking at the HTML the image is correctly shown when accessed: http://yyy:8096/Items/b59212b44d9b9a38c00e300e5055acfb/Images/Primary

But improperly rotated when accessed as: http://yyy:8096/Items/b59212b44d9b9a38c00e300e5055acfb/Images/Primary?fillHeight=305&fillWidth=406

http://yyy:8096/Items/b59212b44d9b9a38c00e300e5055acfb/Images/Primary?fillHeight=305&fillWidth=406 In a browser you can right click and download the image (it's called Primary.jpg). In Windows explorer and in Windows Photo the image is incorrectly rotated compared to the image that was uploaded as the Primary photo.
