It makes perfect sense to me....

All photos taken with the camera app are jpeg (like all cameras no?)

the log showing the type of image is very crude and actually the
detection jpeg/png is only use for the log...
I can't acces  your log anymore (one of the reason I don't use
pastebin.ca anymore... only keeps the data for a couple of days, plus
they are slow usually)

When it comes to image format detection and the like, it's all done by
Qt, myth has no knowledge of things...

What matters is that the file is properly received, whatever your Qt
lib does after that

So whatever is displayed in the log, is unimportant

I explained that earlier...
airplayimagebin is the image as received by AirPlay.

into a jpeg: so the image is re-compressed.

whatever default Qt uses for compression, I haven't been paying attention

My guess is that your libpng warning you got earlier is likely not
related to anything...

Is your Qt built with jpeg decoding support? it's a default format
normally... but I don't know how Qt is built
