Some Media Not Displaying on the Main Screen

Sorry, my English is not very good, so the following translation is from AI. First, thank you for developing Immich. The issue I’m encountering is that "some media is not displaying on the main screen."...

Can't Upload Videos from Phone - Samsung Fold 7

I can't seem to upload larger videos from my phone, at times even photos seem to fail, but i ultimately got them to upload. I increased my file limit and timeouts on ngnix so that isn't the issue and the log on the android app reads as follows: message...

"Broken" uploads

Hello, I have a bunch of “broken” uploads and I don't know how to fix them. To test I tried deleting the photo uploaded "yesterday" and reuploading and in the logs I see this error related to the DB (I think?) ...

Immich on TrueNAS causing backup issues due to permissions

Hey, I use Synology Active Backup for Business to backup up my app "configs" folder on TrueNAS. I'm almost sure this uses SMB to back things up. I setup Immich the other day using the newer two dataset method "uploads" & "db". But the "db" database folder doesn't allow for the backup to take place due to insufficient privileges. Rather than chaning the owner of the dataset and risk breaking Immich I wanted to ask here first how best to do it. Thanks

Context search from text much slower then search of similar photos

Searching images from text from the browser takes ~5 seconds with my current setup, but searching "similar photos" produces results instantaneously. Both the database and thumbnails are unfortunately on HDDs. My Immich instance is running on TrueNAS with no changes to the .env or compose file. Is this behaviour expected or is there something wrong in my setup?...

Change Folders - Docker Compose - Unraid

Hey you all. Is it possible to change the location of the thumbs and encoded-video? If so, how? Do I have to add the paths to the env file? Never used docker compose before. I want my original photos and upload to be on the array directly (HDDs) but the thumbs and the videos on my ssd. Hope someone can help 🙂...

Cloudflare + nginx proxy manager session timeout when deleting anything

I use immich through a cloudflair domain name and nginx proxy manager and have a strange issue that whenever i do any action that involves deleting something (photo, api key, device) 9/10 times everything stops working and the webpage wont come back until i clear cookies and cache or relaunch the app. This happens on the web and iOS app. I am assuming it's something with my proxy setup or nginx config that I am missing. I have tried several different combinations of configs for nginx proxy manager but so far nothing has fixed it. I have attached photos from nginx proxy manager and immich logs This does not happen locally only through the proxy ...

Share link only works on local network

Hi there. Just set up immich on my UGreen NAS. I think I may have done the setup wrong since I see a max storage on immich of 106.7 GB when I have 18 TB of storage.
But my question here is, the share links I created for albums only work when connected to my local wifi network. When sending the link to family or accessing through my phone carrier's network, the link fails to connect.
Is there a setting that I need to change so that the share link will work wherever it is accessed?...

Inconsistent iOS app behavior following 1.139.3

Primarily with Beta Timeline I have personally found the sync behavior to be inconsistent following 1.139.3, which I found to be the most stable release. Ever since 1.140 and beyond, the app doesn’t consistently refresh when you open it and is more likely to have issues with thumbnails not loading. These issues are always resolved by a simple swipe away and re-open of the app. ...

"Duplicated" when uploading and app crash

Hey, I am having an issue with Immich v1.140.0 in iOs app. I want to upload my photos and videos from iOs to my server, but the issue is that when I upload any file, it generates a "copy" of that file that is synced, but it also appears the original file as not synced (attached at the photo below, don't really know how to explain). Has any body faced this problem? Basically the videos on the top are not synced but on the bottom the same videos appear but now uploaded (as you can see with the 0:06 seconds video)....

Photos deleted on device still appear in the app

Hello, I can't find a way how to sync my Immich gallery with local. Backup works fine when I create new images however when I delete them, it doesn't reflect back in the app. I tried running the remote sync job from Backup settings, I tries logging out and back in. Nothing seems to work....

Truenas user with update problems from old dataset

Hi, thank you for making Immich. We love using it, however have been bit by the upgrade issue with Truenas. I have followed this document for the update: https://main.preview.immich.app/docs/install/truenas/#updating-the-app However, I am still receiving the error Error: Invalid upgrade path. For more information, see https://immich.app/errors#typeorm-upgrade. I usually am pretty good at this stuff, but I've reached this wall a number of times now that I feel I need some assistance to move forward. Truenas sadly does not let us "pick a version between the range of 1.132.0 and 1.136.0" anymore, so I feel like I missed the boat on that migration opportunity big time. I copied the files from the old dataset to the new dataset, unticked the box, I believe the permissions are correct, and the data storage and postgres storage datasets should be set to the correct locations. /mnt/primary/apps/immich_data and /mnt/primary/apps/immich/postgres_data respectively. The first item is the new location where everything was copied to, and the second is the postgres data folder of the old dataset. I was not sure if I need to give the postgres a brand new fresh dataset -- it's possible this is part of the issue I'm having? ...

Service continues to go offline after trying to upload files/images and videos

Not quite sure why but it seems that immich itself crashes after trying to upload images and videos. I will provide logs.
