OCR Falling short
Currently working on setting up OCR at our work and it is having trouble picking up a lot of numbers on tags. I have the confidence set at 0.1, 0.1 and resolution 2160p using the server model. Currently the test set is 20 images total with only 6 containing the tags.
My secondary question is that if I can successfully get OCR to pick these up, is there a way to have the search bar default to OCR rather than context?
This is for commercial use so overconfidence is key....

Immich app not showing photo library for upload
As the subject mentions. I created an album in Immich and am trying to upload some photos to it but all I get is a blank screen. I have checked that the app has full access to photos. I am on beta 26.2 so maybe this is possibly why it’s not showing? When I go through webpage I’m able to upload photos.

Oof just updated to 2.2.3 and immich fails to start (redis not found), what have I done wrong?

Can't find stacked pictures in timeline
By mistake while mass selecting about 400 pictures I've clicked the Stack button. Now the stack can't be found in the timeline either on the web UI or on the Immich app. The pictures are somewhere because I can find them if I explicitly search for them. I've tried to redo all the Jobs in hope the stack would reappear, but no luck. What else I can do?
Uploading Photos to Albums Feels Unnecessarily Complicated
Hey everyone,
I've noticed that in Immich you can’t upload photos directly into albums. You first have to upload them to “My Photos” and then move them into the album. This extra step makes sharing a bit cumbersome, especially when you just want to add something quickly.
Is there a reason for this workflow, or any plans to allow direct album uploads in the future?

Better video face detection?
So currently as I understood, for videos it checks the first frame. Thats not very reliable when you have a longer video. Is there a way to change it to maybe checking every minutes last frame or something like that?
When to update postgress and redis?
Besides keeping Immich up to date, when should we update postgress and redis, is there documentation on this?
Currently redis and postgress use the following docker images, respoectivly:
docker.io/redis:6.2-alpine@sha256:eaba718fecd1196d88533de7ba49bf903ad33664a92debb24660a922ecd9cac8...
Server freezing?
My immich server is being ran in a docker and this issue had been observed for about a few months over the course of 4 updates, so it is a me problem. I have it going through a nginx proxy and then through cloudflare, I went on the webpage locally and the issue still occurs. After loading a large quantity just scrolling down the list or picking a few videos, immich will just freeze. I cannot access it across any of my devices. All logs out of the containers appear to be clean with routine socke...
Constant restarting 1.137.0
I use docker compose on ubuntu. Had updated from an older version to 1.137.0 when it was new and left it assuming all was fine. It wasn't. Server is constantly restarting and I would appreciate some help with this as I don't want to blindly update to latest in case it causes further issues.
What is the issue/solution for this issue, can I resume upgrading towards 2.2?
Side questions, asside from upgrading immich, when should redis/postgres be upgraded with newer images?...
Backup of large files failing
I've managed to backup most files, but these video files are over a few 100MB, and seems to be failing.
Not sure if there's any setting I could tweak (either a timeout or to "pause" so all the throughput could be used on one file first)...

Date format
Hi, currently my immich uses mmddyyyy is there any way to change that to ddmmyyyy?
Thanks🙏...
Videos losing audio after ~20s of streaming on iOS app
I've noticed that, on a lot of my videos, when I stream them on the iOS app, the audio will cut out after around 20s of viewing. Pausing and resuming the video will bring it back, but the same thing happens after another 20s. This only happens when streaming the video from the server. If the exact same video is present on device it plays just fine. I also tested this on android, but no issues there. If I force a transcode to be generated for the video, the problem goes away (which is my temporary solution, but not ideal, especially because a lot of these videos are deemed "compatible" even under the very conservative default transcoding settings).
To debug this i've ffprobed 2 videos that exhibit this problem. I don't see anything that should prevent it from being compatible, especially the first video, but I'm no expert in video formats by any stretch. Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: seems to be reverse proxy and/or ssl related...

No photos appearing after migration
I have an Immich instance running on TrueNAS Scale 25.10.0, configured with a custom storage template.
Before updating Immich to the latest version, I needed to migrate to the new storage configuration. Following the official migration guide, I created the new datasets as described.
I then used rsync to copy all the directories listed in the guide from the previous storage path to the new one inside my main data dataset....

Quick question regarding config
Hi,
I have been using immich for some time. It occured to me that I have set the disk type in the config as SSD instead of HDD, when really I have been using HDD this whole time.
I am wondering what the consequences of this are. ...
Source folder in docker desktop disappeared
I know, I know, installed immich on Windows environment (Docker Desktop on WSL2)....
Fortunately, I haven't done too much with it yet. I was preparing to upgrade to latest version of immich (running v2.1.0) before importing my entire Google Photos library and lo and behold, my immich source folder (which contains the compose file and .env file) has disappeared. It was located in Linux-->docker-desktop/home/[user]/docker/immich. Now the home folder is empty. Ironically enough, the immich container still runs fine.
I don't know if this means the source folder is still there, just hidden from me for some reason, or if Docker Desktop is able to run the containers from cache or something. Even after shutting down wls2 and restarting docker desktop, the container runs.
Any ideas how to find my source folder so I can update immich?...
