Describe the bug
No assets appear in the Photos page.

Uploading an asset to the Web UI, however, automatically shows the asset on my phone.

Task List

Please complete the task list below. We need this information to help us reproduce the bug or point out problems in your setup. You are not providing enough info may delay our effort to help you.

  • I have read thoroughly the README setup and installation instructions.
  • I have included my docker-compose file.
  • I have included my redacted .env file.
  • I have included information on my machine, and environment.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Create clean Immich installation using docker-compose
  • Login to the administrator account from mobile device
  • Grant access to photos, videos, music and audio
  • Upon reaching the Photos page, no local assets appear
  • Note: Assets that were uploaded to the server via the web UI do appear on the mobile device

Expected behavior
Assets local to the phone should appear in the Photos page.

System

  • Android: 13
  • Server Version: 1.36.2
  • Mobile App Version: 1.36.1 build 56

Can you try navigating to the backup page on the mobile app and selecting the album that you would like to backup from the mobile app? The mobile app only show local assets that are from the selected album(s)

@alextran1502 When I go to the backup page, and attempt to select backup albums, I see:

Total unique assets: 0
Albums on device: 0

and a progress spinner that is displayed indefinitely. If I'm attempting to upload assets for the first time, would they even be in an album yet?

@atomdmac Those are the albums/folder on your devices. I believe this is related to an issue with Android 13. The newest version on the PlayStore 1.36.2 Build 57 will fix it. Please help me update it and let me know if it helps.

@alextran1502 Looks like that did fix it!. The catch appears to be that even in the Backup Albums screen, assets on the phone don't show up until after some delay. For example, I installed the update just now, signed in, and saw no assets. Just the progress spinner. I re-opened the app after a few minutes and then they did appear.

@atomdmac Yes, I am aware of the issue. It takes some time to scan for assets of albums. We hope to optimize that operation.

Glad it is working now. I am closing this issue.
