Encoding webp image with transparency cause the no vp8 error. I came to know that if there is no transparent area then there is no error at all and Also the author of the encoder have added the Alpha channle as TODO.
But using the encoder in its original form was throwing errors related to ALPH and ICCP and I saw someone shared the code for ICCP and I used that method for both ALPH and ICCP.
Now the encoder works fine but for images not having Transparency.
This might be the reason:
I used that method for both ALPH and ...
How would I read the ALPH chunks?
Here is the main code where reading takes place.

You can see readAlph()
is same as readIccp()
. I read specification but could not get how to implement that.

Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks in advance
