The bug

I have set up Immich and set the storage template to be <Album Name>/<Image Name>. However, it seems that the storage template somehow doesn't apply to the motion part of the live photos. Whenever the live photos (i.e., a heic file and a mov file) are uploaded to immich under an album, the static part (heic file) is properly stored under the album in the filesystem, but the motion part (the mov file) is put at the root instead.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Official docker container

Version of Immich Server

v1.91.2

Version of Immich Mobile App

Irrelevant

Your .env content

# For database (postgres) connections.
DB_HOSTNAME=immich-database
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_DATABASE_NAME=immich
DB_PASSWORD=<REDACTED>
# Postgres container needs their own naming of env vars.

POSTGRES_USER=${DB_USERNAME}
POSTGRES_DB=${DB_DATABASE_NAME}

# For redis connections.
REDIS_HOSTNAME=immich-redis

# For machine learning container.
MPLCONFIGDIR=/cache/matplotlib

Reproduction steps

1. Set `<Album Name>/<Image Name>` storage template in the settings.
2. Upload a live photo (a heic and a mov file) under Album `A`.
3. Check the filesystem. The heic file is stored in `A/`, but the mov file is stored at `./`.

Not really sure when it got fixed, but I'm closing this issue since it seems to be gone in v1.19.3. Great work!

I am still seeing this with server v1.137.3.

From what I could figure I think this might be because the livePhotoVideoId of the life photo is not put into any album.

Here is how it looks like the database:

immich=# select id, "originalFileName", "livePhotoVideoId" from asset where "originalFileName" like 'IMG_0862%';
                  id                  | originalFileName |           livePhotoVideoId           
--------------------------------------+------------------+--------------------------------------
 356ac4e4-00cc-4f97-9a3a-45e3e81ac6b7 | IMG_0862.HEIC    | 728dbe31-19b8-406f-ad93-47bc7c84a9a4
 728dbe31-19b8-406f-ad93-47bc7c84a9a4 | IMG_0862.MOV     | 
(2 rows)

immich=# select "assetsId" from album_asset where "assetsId" in (select id from asset where "originalFileName" like 'IMG_0862%');
               assetsId
