Support Immich albums as media source #163

Open bugfest opened 2 weeks ago

bugfest commented 2 weeks ago

Immich (https://immich.app) is a popular self-hosted media management server. It provides a very well documented API over HTTP.

This media source would let AerialViews to access an Immich album (pictures and videos) including these assets metadata (e.g: file-type, description, location).

PS. I've prepared an implementation for your consideration. I'll open a PR

Thanks for the PR, I've only had a quick look but it looks good so far. My plan would be to put this into the v1.7.3 as v1.7.2 is nearly ready.

Part of the reason is that as I add more 'providers', I thought I could detect them via the URL (http:// vs smb:// vs file://) but that doesn't seem to work well. So I will add a type/enum to each provider so it's easier to parse for playback in either ImagePlayer or VideoPlayer.

Also translations, which are done by the community, can take a week or two.

That sounds fantastic. Do you have a tentative date for the release so that I can start migrating this implementation?

theothernt commented 2 weeks ago

I hope to release v1.7.2 next week. There will be a beta tomorrow for a few users to test some requested features - if no issues are reported, then it'll be released.

Also, I will add that type/enum piece tomorrow.

Great. I'll move #164 to draft in the mean time!

If its of interest I made a fork that also supports immich. I really only made it for my personal use and only got to the point to get images working but its been working well enough on a shield: https://github.com/RyanShahidi/AerialViewsImmich
