Every file uploaded before we went over to 7.7.4 still turns up correctly after the upgrade, so it's only new content added that has this problem. Personally I think this has something to do with ImageCropper. We have never used it before, and I don't think we'll need it now, but it would still be interesting to know how you would go about solve the problem. The problem is mostly that the old media from before still returns only the url, while the new format seems to be that you also should give information about cropping.
Okey, so after some debugging I realized that there was no error at all uploading Media. Instead it is an update to the Media Picker. I have a Media Picker called "Media Picker (Obsolete)", but it doesn't seem to work as it did before. I'm now looking into what the difference between the Obsolete Media Picker and the now not so obsolete Media Picker does differently, and will see if I can solve it that way!
Upgrading to 7.7.4, new media format while uploading
Hi,
When my content managers are now uploading media, they are not looking as they did before:
7.4.3
media.Properties.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias == "umbracoFile").Value.ConvertToString();Would give me the straight url to the file.
7.7.4
media.Properties.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Alias == "umbracoFile").Value.ConvertToString();Returns { src: "urlToFile", crop: "" }

Have you tried setting in the umbracoSettings.config "EnablePropertyValueConverters" to false and seeing if that fixes the issue.
I'm trying it right away! I didn't have it specified so I thought it was False by default. Guess I was wrong.
That was not the solution. When adding now, I get; '{ "focalPoint": { "left": 0.5, "top": 0.5 }, "src": "urlToFile" }'
Good to know is that I use BlobStorage (idSeefeld UmbracoAzureBlobStorage-package), if that has to be configured any different now after the upgrade?
PS. Just to be clear, earlier it was no json-object that was stored, but the simple string: "urlToFile".

Well done for solving the issue!
