I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

Yes

The bug

A video uploaded from the iOS app does not appear in the timeline (neither in iOS app nor in the web UI).

The strange part:
When switching between apps on iOS (e.g., going to the Home Screen and back), the video appears for a split second in the timeline, then immediately disappears again.

This behavior persists even after:

logging out and back in

restarting the server

I also redid the jobs on my iphone on "local sync" but that also didnt help.

I screenrecorded the behaviour to understand what I mean.
Context:
The video starts with me being in the immich app and on December 11th there should be a video that is 48 seconds long but it is missing. When I switch to my photos app i´m already on that video and when I switch back the videos appears and I can also click on it but then it disappears and doesnt appear again until I switch between apps again
(sorry for the blur but I hope you can at least understand the issue)

Reproduction steps

I´m gonna be honest I´m not sure. I couldnt find another photo/video where the same problem happens but thats also because I´m too lazy to check all of my photos/videos to see which are missing

Relevant log output

I corrected my original post with a video and here are the mobile logs. I intentionally tried to provoke the same scenario and the problem happened again. Instantly after freezing of the video I exported the logs
