Having the same issue here. Live pictures taken on an iphone and saved to immich, then played on an android phone (in this case a Pixel 7a with Android 14) I get the same red/blue tinted videos.

I've tried transcoding the videos from H.264 to HEVC with no change.

Sending the same video to the phone via Whatsapp for instance, gives the same result on the target device as the source device (so broken video send via whatsapp to ios gives a broken video on ios, a good video on ios send to android via whatsapp gives a good video there)

What information can I supply to troubleshoot this other than the information @Esokrates already supplied?

Reproduction steps:

  • Take life photo and save to Immich
  • Open Immich on android and view photo, then play video

IOS App version 1.96.0
Android App version 1.96.0
Server, docker compose, on 1.96.0
