albums not visible (android app) (fresh install)
Just set up the server on a Raspberry Pi 5. I set up and logged in using the web app, then installed the Android APK.
I've installed the APK 1.134 on a Redmi 13 Pro+ (Zircon) running Android 15, HyperOS 2.0.3.
All albums on the device aren't visible in the backup album selection menu. Only 7 out of 17 are visible, and within those, only 5-6 pictures are displayed.
While exploring the advanced settings menu, I found the 'Use alternate device album sync filter' option. After toggling it, all the albums on the device were detected (according to the logs) but still weren't visible in the menu; it just showed the loading animation.
To rule out the possibility of a server issue, I set up the app on a Samsung S20+, which worked fine. All albums were detected and visible in the menu, and the backup also worked.
