* fix(profile-image-cropper): ensure correct image area is saved after transparency check
Fixed an issue where users could not set a profile picture due to incorrect transparency detection.
After addressing transparency detection by passing explicit dimensions, another issue arose where the
generated blob did not represent the correct cropped image area. To fix this, a new cropped blob was generated using the canvas that was used to check for transparent pixels.
- Pass image width and height explicitly to `hasTransparentPixels` for accurate processing.
- Return both transparency status and the correctly cropped image blob.
- Ensure the final uploaded image is taken from `croppedImageBlob` to reflect user adjustments.
* chore: run pr web checklist. No issues in the changed file.

Using `getAll(shared: true)` gets all shared albums the user can access (regardless of owner, despite the previous comment).
Using `getAll(shared: null)` gets all albums (incuding shared = true and shared = false). I presume the intent here was to get albums that were shared (and not mine), and not shared (ie: mine), but the logic is way off. It also just then combines them - so makes more sense to just get them in a single call.

@@ -49,13 +49,22 @@ The behaviors differ based on your device manufacturer and operating system, but
On iOS (iPhone and iPad), the operating system determines if a particular app can invoke background tasks based on multiple factors, most of which the Immich app has no control over. To increase the likelihood that the background backup task is run, follow the steps below:
- Enable Background App Refresh for Immich in the iOS settings at `Settings > General > Background App Refresh`.
- Disable **Low Power Mode** when not needed, as this can prevent apps from running in the background.
- Disable Background App Refresh for apps that don't need background tasks to run. This will reduce the competition for background task invocation for Immich.
- Use the Immich app more often.
### Why are features not working with a self-signed cert or mTLS?
### Why are features in the mobile app not working with a self-signed certificate, Basic Auth, custom headers, or mutual TLS?
Due to limitations in the upstream app/video library, using a self-signed TLS certificate or mutual TLS may break video playback or asset upload (both foreground and/or background).
We recommend using a real SSL certificate from a free provider, for example [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/).
These network features are experimental. They often do not work with video playback, asset upload or download, and other features.
Many of these limitations are tracked in [#15230](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/15230).
Instead of these experimental features, we recommend using the URL switching feature, a VPN, or a [free trusted SSL certificate](https://letsencrypt.org/) for your domain.
We are not actively developing these features and will not be able to provide support, but welcome contributions to improve them.
Please discuss any large PRs with our dev team to ensure your time is not wasted.

### Why are only photos and not videos being uploaded to Immich?
This often happens when using a reverse proxy (such as Nginx or Cloudflare tunnel) in front of Immich. Make sure to set your reverse proxy to allow large `POST` requests. In `nginx`, set `client_max_body_size 50000M;` or similar. Also, check the disk space of your reverse proxy. In some cases, proxies cache requests to disk before passing them on, and if disk space runs out, the request fails.

Also, check the disk space of your reverse proxy.
In some cases, proxies cache requests to disk before passing them on, and if disk space runs out, the request fails.
If you are using Cloudflare Tunnel, please know that they set a maxiumum filesize of 100 MB that cannot be changed.
At times, files larger than this may work, potentially up to 1 GB. However, the official limit is 100 MB.
If you are having issues, we recommend switching to a different network deployment.
### Why are some photos stored in the file system with the wrong date?
There are a few different scenarios that can lead to this situation. The solution is to rerun the storage migration job. The job is only automatically run once per asset after upload. If metadata extraction originally failed, the jobs were cleared/canceled, etc., the job may not have run automatically the first time.

Immich stores two types of content in the filesystem: (a) original, unmodified assets (photos and videos), and (b) generated content. We recommend backing up the entire contents of `UPLOAD_LOCATION`, but only the original content is critical, which is stored in the following folders:
1. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/library`
2. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/upload`
3. `UPLOAD_LOCATION/profile`
If you choose to back up only those folders, you will need to rerun the transcoding and thumbnail generation jobs for all assets after you restore from a backup.

## Video Transcoding Settings
The system administrator can define parameters according to which video files will be converted to different formats (depending on the settings). The settings can be changed in depth, to learn more about the terminology used here, refer to FFmpeg documentation for [H.264](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264) codec, [HEVC](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.265) codec and [VP9](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP9) codec.
The system administrator can configure which video files will be converted to different formats. The settings can be changed in depth, to learn more about the terminology used here, refer to FFmpeg documentation for [H.264](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264) codec, [HEVC](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.265) codec and [VP9](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP9) codec.
Which streams of a video file will be transcoded is determined by the [Transcode Policy](#ffmpeg.transcode). Streams that are transcoded use the following settings (config file name in brackets). Streams that are not transcoded are untouched and preserve their original settings.
If the video asset's container format is not in this list, it will be remuxed to MP4 even if no streams need to be transcoded.
The default set of accepted container formats is `mov`, `ogg` and `webm`.
### Preset (`ffmpeg.preset`) {#ffmpeg.preset}
The amount of "compute effort" to put into transcoding. These use [the preset names from h264](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264#Preset) and will be converted to appropriate values for encoders that configure effort in different ways.
The transcoding policy configures which streams of a video asset will be transcoded. The transcoding decision is made independently for video streams and audio streams. This means that if a video stream needs to be transcoded, but an audio stream does not, then the video stream will be transcoded while the audio stream will be copied. If the transcoding policy does not require any stream to be transcoded and does not require the video to be remuxed, then no separate video file will be created.
The default policy is `required`.
#### All videos (`all`) {#ffmpeg.transcode-all}
Videos are always transcoded. This ensures consistency during video playback.
#### Don't transcode any videos (`disabled`) {#ffmpeg.transcode-disabled}
Videos are never transcoded. This saves space and resources on the server, but may prevent playback on devices that don't support the source format (especially web browsers) or result in high bandwidth usage when playing high-bitrate files.
#### Only videos not in an accepted format (`required`) {#ffmpeg.transcode-required}
Video streams are transcoded when any of the following conditions are met:
- The video is HDR.
- The video is not in the yuv420p pixel format.
- The video codec is not in `acceptedVideoCodecs`.
Audio is transcoded if the audio codec is not in `acceptedAudioCodecs`.
#### Videos higher than max bitrate or not in an accepted format (`bitrate`) {#ffmpeg.transcode-bitrate}
In addition to the conditions in `required`, video streams are also transcoded if their bitrate is over `maxBitrate`.
#### Videos higher than target resolution or not in an accepted format (`optimal`) {#ffmpeg.transcode-optimal}
In addition to the conditions in `required`, video streams are also transcoded if the horizontal **and** vertical dimensions are higher than [`targetResolution`](#ffmpeg.targetResolution).

### Minimum detection score
This setting affects whether a result from the face detecton model is filtered out as a false positive. It may seem tempting to set this low to detect more faces, but it can lead to false positives that are difficult to deal with and can harm facial recognition. It is strongly recommended not to go below 0.5 for this setting. Setting it to a very high number like 0.9 is also not recommended: the default is already biased toward precision, so a threshold that high leads to many undetected faces.

Folder view provides an additional view besides the timeline that is similar to a file explorer. It allows you to navigate through the folders and files in the library. This feature is handy for a highly curated and customized external library or a nicely configured storage template.

This feature allows you to use a GPU to accelerate transcoding and reduce CPU load.
Note that hardware transcoding produces significantly larger videos than software transcoding with similar settings, typically with lower quality. Using slow presets and preferring more efficient codecs can narrow this gap.
