If anyone needs this right now, I just built and tested what @shiena said, and it works.

We are still in Alpha ourselves. So we are mostly focusing on core functionality. Right now it’s caching and #23

2017.2 was just made official earlier this month and we haven’t gotten the chance to get to it yet… although…

Some kind folks have described the problem above
We take pull requests 😃

We appreciate the love guys.

We are just busy chasing other stability issues at the moment. Hopefully in a few weeks we can get to this.

shakes fist at Unity

Ok so the problem is that ImageConversion got moved out to a separate DLL, which means using Texture2D as a DLL location base no longer works. Worse, it got moved to its own assembly - literally a DLL which only contains this class, which means there is no type we can use to get at its location. So, sigh, we’ll need to add yet another codepath to the StreamExtensions code to reference the UnityEngine.ImageConversionModule.dll dll and get the ImageConversion type.
