Hello everybody, welcome to release v1.69.0 of Immich. In this release, we are focusing on fixing bugs and improving some UI elements across the mobile app and the web client. Some of the key highlights include:

• Add support for Motion photos on Android.
• Improve UI for hide and show face mechanism.
• Fix a bug where files with uppercase extension cannot be uploaded from the web.
• Fix a bug where faces after the merging process don’t get recognized in new assets.

Highlights

Support Motion Photos

Thanks to the work of @fourkbomb, motion photos are now supported in Immich, the motion portion of the image is now extracted into a video file and can be played from both the web and the mobile app. Please give it a try and let us know if you encounter any issues.

Improve hide/show faces user interface

After receiving a round of feedback on this mechanism from the last release, we’ve made improvements on the intuitiveness of the action of hiding and showing faces.

While not one of the highlights, #3350 should finally get rid of the 10s it takes to stop or restart immich containers.

I assume the Android Motion Photos feature will only support newly uploaded assets since the change? It can't look back over the existing photos and stitch the photo to the video?

[fourkbomb]

You need to rerun the "extract metadata" job for all photos. That should pick up any existing motion photos.

[bt90]

And "Transcode Videos" after that, I guess?

[fourkbomb]

I don't think so - the extracted videos should be treated as if they were newly uploaded (I may be wrong, though).

[bt90]

The metadata step yielded 518 missing transcodes on my instance.

Hello, I found that the "LivePhoto backup and playback" field in the Features section of the Github description only supports IOS, but in v1.69.0 it already supports Android Motion Photo.

However, Motion Photo for Android is now supported in this version. I'm a Samsung user and I'm very excited about this feature. I'm a Samsung user and I'm very excited about this feature.

I was wondering if it's possible to change the Github description to support both Android and IOS? I think it would be more appealing!
