Incorrectly identifies avif image file as "video/quicktime"
rjgotten opened this issue · comments
The library incorrectly identifies AVIF image files as AV1 videos with MIME content type "video/quicktime" rather than the correct "image/avif".
Additionally the content type "video/quicktime" is incorrect.
The standardized content type for AV1 video is "video/AV1": https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/video/AV1
The definition of that media type is strictly speaking limited to video-streaming via RTP and is not defined for other uses, but it makes more sense than "video/quicktime" which is just an opaque box of 'anything Apple Quicktime can play back.'
It's akin to speccing MP4 videos as "video/-x-msvideo," because Windows Media Player can play it back.
It's not really incorrect.
AVIF is like HEIC a flavor of HEIF, which is a ISO Base Media File Format (BMFF). This originated from QuickTime. So in fact it's a QuickTime file somehow. ;)
The fix is just to use the already implemented HEIC logic for AVIF files.
I just did that for the Java version:
