The bug

Thank you for very helpful CLI tool! I've used it to upload some albums downloaded from Google Photos. And there is an issue with ordering by date.

Scenario:

  • download Google Photo album as .zip-file
  • unpack it to a folder
  • (optionally) check that all files have correct LastModified date
  • go to that folder and run a PowerShell script there (I'm using Windows):
    $currentDirName = Split-Path -Path $pwd -Leaf
    docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/import" ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-cli:latest upload --key xxxKEYxxx --server http://192.168.2.7:2283/api -al "$($currentDirName)" -y

Here are 2 issues in result:

  1. album is not ordered by date. It is the first in the Albums list. (But I have created manually some new albums with more new photos/videos before.)
  2. some videos has invalid (empty) metadata dates, but correct Created and LastModified dates. So they are uploaded and ordered in Photos list with invalid date 01.01.1970, for example:

image

What I've tried to resolve the issues:

  • set folder's Created and LastModified dates from the first photo file in the album (for ex., 04-05-2023, dd-mm-yyyy)
  • set photo/video files Created = LastModified
  • then remove photos/videos/album and upload album again

No success.

Perhaps, the issue is fixed. I didn't reproduce an issue again (did not bulk-upload some assets). But now what I have:

  1. I've upated the Immich to the latest version 1.83.0 and runned a job to extract metadata.
  2. In my library I have initially bulk-uploaded videos that I described in this issue as an example. I don't see the videos with 1970:01:01 date anymore.
  3. And it looks like the videos are ordered correctly.

We have definitely fixed some issues with regards to video metadata extraction, so glad to hear it is working correctly now.
