Add Compression features to MediaPicker (similar to MediaPlugin)

Open luis-cortina opened this issue 5 years ago • 13 comments

Is implementing this in the roadmap for Media Picker or do we have to code on our own?

Any update on this? I can't use MediaPicker the way it is. Thanks.

Don't hold your breathe. You will just have to use the older plugins or switch to another framework as we did.

We are in the process of migrating old packages to Xamarin.Essentials as a step to migrate to Maui and its Maui.Essentials package. This is required feature for our migration from the MediaPlugin to Xamarin.Essentials. Is there any plan on this getting implemented?

you're probably better off asking on the maui repo... as it stands you will have to write your own CapturePhotoAsync method on iOS, which is what we've done in our current xamarin forms app.

@nrallakis You can also use MediaPlugin in MAUI starting with 6.x. First non beta version 6.0.2 is now available. Your camera code from Xamarin will pretty much work as-is.

Although MediaPlugin seems to be a semi-offical package, it just baffles me that there is no compression either in Xamarin.Essentials or Communitytoolkit.MAUI camera packages. For most people this just means it's not an option and the camera utility may as well not exist.

Support for Xamarin is ending May 2024 so I'm sure you'll never see it implemented in Essentials. As for MAUI, I don't know how MS can expect this to become a major X-Platform player the way things are going. Talking of which.. I just updated to .NET8 which I thought would fix some issues in our own migration. It fixed 1 issue and introduced 7 more :(
