Originally created by @skavans on GitHub (Oct 14, 2021).

When a live photo (HEIC image + HVC1 MOV video) is uploaded into PhotoPrism, the main photo in the PhotoPrism gallery isn't the original HEIC converted into JPEG but the MOV thumbnail for some reason.

So it looks like the following:

Whereas the original image looks like below:

(it's the HEIC I manually converted into JPEG to be able to attach it here)

If I download such photo from the PhotoPrism, I get the following files:

photo.heic (original photo)
photo.mov (original live video)
photo.mov.jpg (the one I see in the gallery).

I believe the last file should be photo.heic.jpg.

Aware of that, see #926 and #1028. Given how often this was reported, I'll move it to development now! 😜
