Exact same photo has different checksum in External Library

Hi Immich Team,

i have an little problem. I use Immich in the latest Version on Server (Docker Container on Linux Host) and an Android Phone.
The problem now, i upload my pictures normally with Nextcloud and use it as external Library in Immich.

My problem is, the uploaded files in the external Library has a different Checksum as in the Android App, so this is an duplicate.

I check the uploaded files from Nextcloud and the exact local file in Android with an Checksum Tool, and they match, so i don't think the Nextcloud Upload destroys anything.
I have no idea anymore how to fix this. What i tried for testing.

What i also tested:
I uploaded a test picture in Immich, the local Android File Checksum and the Uploaded File has the same Checksum > OK

Now on the Server side, i moved this file from the $Upload_Folder$ location in a temp folder on the server. I delete this file in Immich Web and also from Trash.
Now i take this file (which was uploaded through Immich) and move it in to my External Library. Let Immich Scan the file and check it on Android. > Different Checksum 🙁
No idea whats happening.

I use the docker-compose file and set the volumes only in the "immich-server" container place, do i need to put it anywhere else?
I started to set the permissions for the Volume only to RO and also tested now in the end RW, still the same problem.

Is it possible to run a checksum test from the CLI on an file? For easier testing on different files?

Hope someone can help me. I am a little bit lost.
