Duplicates from External Library are ending up in Timeline and "Duplicates" View, but it is actually the same exact file #5331

The bug

I have two external libraries, the second of which is 99% videos. My timeline and "Review Duplicates" tool are showing two entries for the same file. If I navigate to the path by clicking on the filename, it brings me to the Explorer View and all files are show twice.

The external library is pointing to a filesystem housed on a Synology NAS that is mounted as read-only in my container. I have not noticed any files from my first external library showing up as duplicates.

Reproduction steps

Steps A:

  1. Browse to Immich Timeline, scroll to date in question.
  2. See duplicate thumbnails pointing at the same file.
  3. Click on File Location (i) for both thumbnails and note path is identical.

Steps B:

  1. Utilities -> Review Duplicates
  2. See identified "duplicate" that points to the same exact path twice. It's not two copies in different folders, I double checked.

Additional information

NOTE: I only noticed this problem AFTER upgrading from 1.125.1 to 1.125.7 and enabled File Watching.
Note that my external library is mounted read-only and does include the exclusion string **/@eaDir/**, so I'm not sure why those paths are referenced in the logs I pasted above.

NOTE: The timeline on my android app does NOT show duplicates. This problem only occurs on the web view from my desktop browser.

Browse to Immich Timeline, scroll to date in question. 2. See duplicate thumbnails pointing at the same file. 3. Click on File Location (i) for both thumbnails and note path is identical. Steps B: 1. Utilities -> Review Duplicates 2. See identified "duplicate" that points to the same exact path twice. It's not two copies in different folders, I double checked. ### Relevant log output ```shell at async Worker.retryIfFailed (/usr/src/app/node_modules/bullmq/dist/cjs/classes/worker.js:581:24) [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 12:00:00 AM ERROR [Microservices:JobService] Object: { "id": "224c3970-e49d-43d3-8f5c-7738fb7036df" } [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 12:00:00 AM ERROR [Microservices:JobService] Unable to run job handler (thumbnailGeneration/generate-thumbnails): Error: VipsJpeg: Message codes are not supported, error message is in msg_parm.s string [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 12:00:00 AM ERROR [Microservices:JobService] Error: VipsJpeg: Message codes are not supported, error message is in msg_parm.s string at Sharp.toBuffer (/usr/src/app/node_modules/sharp/lib/output.js:163:17) at MediaRepository.decodeImage (/usr/src/app/dist/repositories/media.repository.js:54:68) at MediaService.generateImageThumbnails (/usr/src/app/dist/services/media.service.js:164:63) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5) at async MediaService.handleGenerateThumbnails (/usr/src/app/dist/services/media.service.js:114:25) at async JobService.onJobStart (/usr/src/app/dist/services/job.service.js:148:28) at async EventRepository.onEvent (/usr/src/app/dist/repositories/event.repository.js:130:13) at async Worker.processJob (/usr/src/app/node_modules/bullmq/dist/cjs/classes/worker.js:394:28) at async Worker.retryIfFailed (/usr/src/app/node_modules/bullmq/dist/cjs/classes/worker.js:581:24) [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 12:00:00 AM ERROR [Microservices:JobService] Object: { "id": "2aaab635-7333-4a25-8845-d41fba204860" } [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 12:00:02 AM ERROR [Microservices:JobService] Unable to run job handler (thumbnailGeneration/generate-thumbnails): Error: VipsJpeg: Message codes are not supported, error message is in msg_parm.s string [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 12:00:02 AM ERROR [Microservices:JobService] Error: VipsJpeg: Message codes are not supported, error message is in msg_parm.s string at Sharp.toBuffer (/usr/src/app/node_modules/sharp/lib/output.js:163:17) at MediaRepository.decodeImage (/usr/src/app/dist/repositories/media.repository.js:54:68) at MediaService.generateImageThumbnails (/usr/src/app/dist/services/media.service.js:164:63) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5) at async MediaService.handleGenerateThumbnails (/usr/src/app/dist/services/media.service.js:114:25) at async JobService.onJobStart (/usr/src/app/dist/services/job.service.js:148:28) at async EventRepository.onEvent (/usr/src/app/dist/repositories/event.repository.js:130:13) at async Worker.processJob (/usr/src/app/node_modules/bullmq/dist/cjs/classes/worker.js:394:28) at async Worker.retryIfFailed (/usr/src/app/node_modules/bullmq/dist/cjs/classes/worker.js:581:24) [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 12:00:02 AM ERROR [Microservices:JobService] Object: { "id": "7ecd75ba-ec05-4837-bcba-780faa28d75b" } [Nest] 8 - 02/05/2025, 2:00:00 AM LOG [Microservices:BackupService] Database Backup Starting.

If it helps, it does look like the server has two metadata entries pointing to the same physical path:

I am noticing this as well, with the duplicates actually being the same file/filename but resides within a different sub-directory of the external storage location.

but resides within a different sub-directory of the external storage location.

In that case they're treated as two independent files and everything is working as expected.

cc @etnoy any idea on the original issue, why might there be multiple entries for the same path?

Can you post the import paths for all external libraries? I think you've imported the same file multiple times

Oh you're right, how silly of me:
Library 1: /usr/src/app/external
Library 2: /usr/src/app/external/Videos/XXX-YYY-ZZZ

I thought I had put them in parallel dirs, but didn't.
Any suggestions on the best way to clean this up with the least amount of reprocessing? My directory structure actually looks like this:

All under /usr/app/external
/RAWPics
/OriginalPics
/SharedPics
/Videos

Should I just split each into its own external library? I've been meaning to figure out how to reduce the amount of time spent rescanning as many of these folders are fairly static.

Yes, I would put each in a separate library. My long term plan is to allow to do things per external library but we're not there yet. If you do it that way, you'll be futureproofed. Other than that, you are free to do it whatever way you want.
