The bug

Some files in my external library had wrong metadata, wrong dates. After adjusting those dates and refreshing metadata, rescanning all files and force-rescanning the whole library, the items are still in the wrong place in the timeline (usually a day). Items I noticed with this issue are .mp4 files.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Ubuntu 22.04, Docker

Version of Immich Server

v1.84.0

Version of Immich Mobile App

v1.84.0

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Did you see the caution about refreshing and caching in the library docs? https://immich.app/docs/features/libraries#external-libraries

Yes I did, but the same issue appears on the mobile app for me. I also tried to clear the cache there. Is there something I can provide or check whether the issue is on my side or my Immich instance?

Does this apply only to mp4 files, and not photos? How do you change the time of the mp4 files?

So far it seems that pictures are fine, after adjusting the metadata. First I check if pictures and gifs have a value in "Date taken" in the Windows properties pane. If not, I add it. For videos I check if there is a value for "Media created". Then, I use Attribute Changer 11 to modify created, modified and accessed dates.

Edit: interesting, I just noticed it is different for web view and the app. Even after clearing the cache in Brave and trying it out with Firefox (not used with immich before), the issue persists. In the app however, some photos and videos are correctly in the timeline and others aren't.. is perhaps there an issue with my particular database?

It is a known issue that data is aggressively cached. See the documentation where you can see that it is known, and there are also instructions for how to refresh your browser cache when a file is changed externally, it's harder than you think.

I'l close this issue for now, we have it on our todo list though
