reverse geocoding fail
I noticed that many images I recently uploaded do not have reverse geocoded locations, even though all of them have coordinates in the sidecar files. The log shows "Response from database for reverse geocoding ... was null".
In the web UI, the pictures have a map and coordinates but the location is empty.
I'm posting one sidecar file and the logs below. I'm not sure when this happened, but my setup has always been image+sidecar, and they worked well.
I found a couple issues on github with the same error, but they seem to be coordinates that are in remote areas. The pictures I have are all in urban areas. The example below is in Tokyo.

time zone issues with sidecar
I have pictures that have timestamps in exif but no time zone information (eg. 2023-01-01 11:22:33.440000). I created sidecar files with timezone like
<exif:DateTimeOriginal>2023-01-01T11:22:33.440000-04:00</exif:DateTimeOriginal>. When the files are uploaded into immich, it appears immich thinks the pictures is taken at 11:22:33 UTC, because on the web the timestamp is 07:22 AM GMT-04:00.
If I don't include the sidecar file and upload the picture only, immich thinks the picture is taken at 11:22:33 UTC (the host server, all the docker containers and the db are set to UTC, no TZ environment variable anywhere). On the web the timestamp is dependent on the OS's timezone setting (07:22 AM GMT-04:00 on a UTC-4 system, and 04:22 AM GMT-07:00 on a UTC-7 system).
Here's a table showing what's going on:
So, it looks like immich takes the date time value (without timezone) as a UTC time, and adds the timezone from the sidecar. Server is 1.81.1 I don't think I had this problem in 1.7x versions, but not 100% sure.2 replies

Reverse geotagging and searching
Hi, I have a question about searching for place names.
Some of my pictures got wrong locations from reverse geotagging. So I corrected the city and state columns in the db manually. But the wrong city name is still listed under the places heading in the explore page. If I open an image, the location name is correct though.
I thought it was because typesense wasn’t aware of the manual metadata change, so I restarted all the containers, but the wrong place is still there. Is it possible to manually trigger a reindexing if my guess is correct? Or it’s because of other issues?
