iOS Live Photo Backup Bug
Hello - I have some live photos on iOS that aren't backing up. Couple handful of photos won't backup at all.
Photos app - shows 1 single photo with live photo
Immich iOS app - shows 2 separate files - 1 photo and 1 video
Immich web app - shows 1 video file
It is not every single live photo that has an issue it is more like 1 in 100. Seems random which photo fails. Any suggestions on how to resolve or fix these ones that are broken and won't upload?
Current work around is to delete the video file from Immich web and reupload the image from Immich iOS app. This is difficult as there isn't an easy to find the broken live photo uploads. You just have to scroll and look for images that haven't been backed up right next to a 1-2 sec video file in Immich iOS
