The Android Motion Photos in my library only display as photos.

viktordd commented 2 weeks ago

The bug

The newest Android app doesn't recognize motion photos anymore. I've tried uploading from google takeout, and importing from external library, All attempts do not recognize that they are motion photos.

I'm using a Pixel 7 Pro, and have some motion photos in my library. In the Google photos app, they show as motion photos, but in Immich app they appear as just normal photos. Same when I upload them to the server.

Hi,

I encountered the same problem. I want to clarify that this issue is not related to the previous issues involving Google Takeout, and it seems to be a separate bug.

The Issue

I have a Google Pixel 6 Pro, and when I take a new photo with Motion Photo enabled, the Immich app does not recognize it as a Motion Photo. This issue occurs directly in the app, without any involvement of Google Takeout or uploading to the Immich server. The photo is displayed as a regular photo in the app itself.

When I then upload the photo to the Immich server, it also appears as a simple photo in the web version, not as a Motion Photo.

(Interestingly, I also tried using the iOS app, and Live Photos are recognized correctly and function as expected in the Immich app.)

Device and App Information

Device: Google Pixel 6 Pro
Immich Mobile App Version: 1.106.3 build.143
Server Verion: 1.106.4

Steps to Reproduce

Take a photo with Motion Photo enabled on a Google Pixel 6 Pro.
Open the Immich app and view the photo. It will not be recognized as a Motion Photo.
Upload the photo to the Immich server. The photo still appears as a regular photo in the web version.

It seems that the app itself does not properly handle Motion Photos taken directly on the device, which might be a different root cause compared to the Google Takeout issue and therefore also seems not related to immich-go.

Thank you for investigating this issue.

In my case, I am using an external library. I upload my photos using Nextcloud. Nextcloud memories can perfectly detect and play motion photos, but not immich.

What is even more strange is that immich is detecting motion photos in some old photos (also uploaded through nextcloud) I had taken from a Motorola device using ported gcam. Immich can display and play those photos. But it can't play motion photos I have taken with my Pixel device.

Same issue here. Hope It can be fixed without reuploading the last assets.

Same here. Photos from a couple of months ago from same device play fine. Both directly uploaded from device to immich app. Only difference since than I can think of is that the upload now happens trough reverse proxy and I delayed the upload with 2 minutes in app settings. And Immich updates ofc
