Sdwebimage: AppleTV layered image (.LCR) files are not supported

[floprr]

Loading .LCR files in AppleTV works but the images are flattened and the parallax effect is not available.

As far as I know, UIImages should be created using [UIImage imageWithData:] instead of [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:] to make sure the parallax effect is preserved. (I tried in swift and UIImage(data:) worked)

Disk caching should also be fixed to support LCR files. At the moment, all images will be converted to PNG or JPEG files before saving.

You are correct, we don't support LCR files at this point. Are you interested in creating a Pull Request?

@bpoplauschi @skyline75489 do we have plans to support LCR Images?

[bpoplauschi]

@mythodeia Not that I know of.
The more I look at the code, the more I get the sensation that we already do to much. We should stick to doing a single thing in the core library and let other people create extensions.
