[HTML5]: JPG image still causes Runtime Error in HTML5 build with Solar2D 2026.3731

Hi,

I’m still having an issue with JPG/JPEG images in HTML5 builds using Solar2D 2026.3731, the latest version that includes the fix for this issue.

The game only uses one JPG image. The image details are:

• File size: about 130 KB
• Dimensions: 1537 x 2048 pixels
• Width: 1537 pixels
• Height: 2048 pixels
• Horizontal resolution: 96 dpi
• Vertical resolution: 96 dpi
• Bit depth: 24

This same game used this JPG image before without problems. After the JPG issue was introduced in Solar2D, I replaced it with a similar PNG image as a workaround.

Now, with Solar2D 2026.3731, I tried using the JPG image again, but when I load the HTML5 build in Chrome, I get a Runtime Error in the console.

The game does not use a large number of JPG images. It only uses this single JPG file.

Target platform and where build was made:

• Device: Google Chrome
• OS: Version 152.0.7977.83 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I’m attaching a screenshot of the Chrome console error, along with the image I’m using.

I remember having resolved the issue, and then I added extra safeguards for other issues too. I just downloaded the original test2.zip from #875 and it seems to have the same issue as above.

After I "sorted out" this issue, I wrote the larger batch of tests in #923 and I then trimmed down the changes so that "I didn't commit anything extra". I must have trimmed more than I should have and I didn't catch it as the jpg/jpeg images in the test suite worked (and still work).

I'll look into this again later in the week and figure out what I missed.
