Removed transcoded video?
I don't want to use transcoded video right now. I did pause it, but is there a way to remove that which was already done, to free up space?

and df -h
).

Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.Set the settings to not transcode anything in the admin panel and clear + run the transcode job
Will that delete anything previously transcoded? Thank you
Mostly. I believe live photos are still transcoded
Okay, I'll test. What are live photos?
Iphone / Android have the motion photos. (Picutre with small video attached)
oh okay. i havent yet used the app so i wasnt sure what that meant, lol
Those aren't an immich specific feature. They are features of iphones and android devices.
i assume this is the setting in particular being referred to

Correct. Save that and then re-run the transcode job. Should wipe out all video transcodes
ah yeah, its going through the videos, and storage is being freed up
perfect!
this app seems to be much better than synology photos
The app is quite nice and a lot of rework is being done to fix many of the pain points with sync issues. So even better to come.
right now im running it on a mini-pc with it looking at my NAS via SMB share.
so thats why storage space was a concern at the moment.
this might be off topic for this thread, but to use this with android / ios, do i need to open ports to allow it to be accessible externally?
outside of my LAN
cool thanks
Do not forward immich directly as it's served over http.
I see. I think I already have wire guard and tail scale setup as endpoints back to the LAN. I was hoping for another way, it looks like a reverse proxy might require a domain which I don't have at the moment.
