Memories doesn't work as expected.
Memories just show 20 years ago stuff when they are present.
i would like to have, if possible, something like "on this date" where it shows all the pictures i have of today/this_month/each_year.
Is that possible?
I would like to point that my timeline is correct, each picture is shown in the right day/month/year.
Thanks for your time

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:If I get you correctly, you can just search with a date range?
Yes, of course I do, but I'm not talking about search issue. I'm talking about the "Memories" funcion, that usually shows automaticcaly on the mobile app at te top of the Home screen.
Well memories will always be "on this day", I don't think this will change
If you are missing years/days in this list that's a different issue of course
It's 3-4 days in a row that it shows just the "20years ago" date, the picture inside that category are right, from 2005. But I have tons of pictures of other years for the past days and today too. But those are not displayed correctly. What could I check?
To be completely honest It's 5 days I set my server up. But I'm sure that I have multiple memories in the last 3 days for several years.
You could check the timeline manually for starters
If there are no images on that date, you know why memories won't show anything
If there are, we can go deeper and see why it's not creating the memories
How new is your Immich?
Yes, they are there, my timeline is correct.
5 days old
You can go to the jobs admin section https://my.immich.app/admin/jobs-status and clean up the memories + create the memories job ->

If this does not make them, check your logs for any errors
I did it, once created I just have to wait, or should I do something else? I don't see anything working below
did you do both cleanup and creation?
It shouldn't take much longer than a couple of minutes
(if even that)
Oh i did miss the little arrow, I did it both now. But nothing seems to change. But I'm doing this from remote, I would like to be sure and make those 2 jobs from local before assuming it's not working.
Thanks for the moment @Mraedis, appreciated a lot. I will give you guys a feedback. And really good job, the platform seems impressive even if it's just a beta.
remote or local should be the same, but the logs will be another thing of course 🙂
I see, in that case it didn't change anything.
I repeated the steps a couple of time to be sure, because I don't get any feedback beside "job created", no bars showing up or anything else.
Any other things to try?
Small correction to the linked advice: in
... truncate table memories ...
it should be memory
since recent versions changed table names.
Corrected command:
docker exec immich_postgres psql --dbname=immich --username=postgres -c "delete from system_metadata where key like 'memories-state'; truncate table memory cascade;"
Run it first, then re-trigger Memory Generation job.
@Mayo89 btw, you said your Immich server is pretty young.
When did you add photos for the recent years?
If, for example
- 2005 was added 5 days ago
- 2006+ were added 3 days ago
then https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/19596 could be the culprit.
Anyway, let's see the outcome of truncating memory records and regenerating them.[Issue] Incomplete or missing memories for 3 days after uploading past photos (immich-app/immich#19596)
This Solved, thank you for your help. I stopped here without trying the second solution.
Appreciayed a lot. Have a good day!
