Empty folders
Something is odd, my thumbnails and encoded videos folders are empty even.
Please see below for my docker compose and env

Env
https://pastebin.com/JNn2qGVk
THUMBS_LOCATION=/nvme/thumbs/
PROFILE_LOCATION=/nvme/profile/
ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION=/nvme/encoded-video
Those three are empty, but I can see that I have thumbnails, also I can seen in log that video encoding is working on the videos and there are no errors. Then my question, where are they then?

Can you capture the screenshots of video encoding option?
This is a log let me take a screenshot






Sorry cant see option to change back to english on the website
You can change it from the user settings page 😁
Ok one sec
What do you mean it’s empty ..? I see a folder right there



I was under impression that in video encoded I should have video files? Also there should be thumbnails in thumb folder, unless I am wrong?
I don’t understand your question
Have you explored the folder??
You say the “folder is empty” , this is clearly not true
Yes I did there is nothing but one hidden file
There’s a folder called e4499…?
Hmm
Please run this command:
find /nvme/encoded-video
I will, once I am back at home
30 min
Can't work on the phone lol
ok I can see everything now, how is it possible that when I check it on the nas itself(to check how much space they take) i see empty folders?
You’re not using the NAS for thumbs right? So why would they be there
My configuration NAS(HDD - photos, NVME - cache thumbs, encoded videos) - server with immich(nvme with database)
hence why I can see folder with thumbs on my NAS 🙂
