Sitecore just released a new version of the Stream module for PDXP. Now, the package is available for download, and it is version 1.4.54.

Now Stream can work in Sitecore Media Library and can assist in getting metadata for images like Title, Description, Alt Text, and Keywords within seconds.

The supported file extensions are .jpg, .jpeg, .png, and .webp (the .webp support out of the box in Sitecore is since version 10.4, but if you need to use in lower versions, follow this guide).

The .webp media in Sitecore has been supported since version 10.4. But if you need to add support for lower versions, follow the next steps:

Under the master database add webp items under the next pathes (can be cloned from jpeg item and then adjusted):

/sitecore/templates/System/Media/Unversioned/webP
/sitecore/templates/System/Media/Versioned/webP

2. In Sitecore.config a new media type should be added:

<mediaType name="WEBP image" extensions="webp">
    <mimeType>image/webp</mimeType>
	<forceDownload>false</forceDownload>
	<sharedTemplate>system/media/unversioned/webP</sharedTemplate>
	<versionedTemplate>system/media/versioned/webP</versionedTemplate>
	<mediaValidator type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.ImageValidator" />
	<thumbnails>
	    <generator type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.ImageThumbnailGenerator, Sitecore.Kernel">
	        <extension>png</extension>
	    </generator>
	    <width>150</width>
	    <height>150</height>
	    <backgroundColor>#FFFFFF</backgroundColor>
	</thumbnails>
	<prototypes>
	    <media type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.ImageMedia, Sitecore.Kernel" />
	</prototypes>
</mediaType>
