Uploading a specific image caused an InvalidArgumentException error in the photo album.

[x1ntt]

Lychee version

v6.10.2

Did you check the latest Lychee version?

Yes, I did

Which PHP version are you using?

PHP 8.4

Detailed description of the problem

After I uploaded the specified image, the album containing the image could not be opened. The browser displayed a 500 error code indicating that the API call returned a 500 error, and I received the following response.

http://127.0.0.1:8802/api/v2/Album?album_id=lY4Hkq7RXE6yPrXzjogDoZpA&page=1

{
    "message": "Server Error",
    "exception": "InvalidArgumentException"
}

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Pull the lychee:dev image using Docker.
2. Install and create the database normally.
3. Create a new photo album.
4. Upload an image.
5. The album is now inaccessible.

The problematic image was generated by taking a screenshot from https://github.com/xxxily/h5player. Several screenshots I generated had this issue, but screenshots generated today are fine.

Currently, I haven't found anything unusual about the image, nor have I seen any further useful logs.

The problem doesn't recur when I upload and download the images here, so I can only provide them as compressed files. It seems the issue might be a non-standard image format or a metadata problem?

The problem doesn't recur when I upload and download the images here, so I can only provide them as compressed files. It seems the issue might be a non-standard image format or a metadata problem?

Thank you for the zip, it is indeed quite a weird one.

[ildyria]

It works totally fine here:

[x1ntt]

This is very strange. I'll send you a GIF later to show you how I reproduced it.

[ildyria]

I just created quickly a container. Same hash of files as you, to remove all uncertainties.

Got it. Reproducible.

I'll provide my method for reproducing the problem, which seems to behave differently from yours.
