Additional information

Using traefik as a reverse proxy.

The current workaround is to logout and log back in, we are looking into identifying the root cause

[kitkatod]

I'm also running into the issue described here, however the workaround of logging out/in on the Android app does not resolve the issue and items are still missing from the timeline. Even uninstalling/reinstalling the app does not seem to affect the behavior.

Images are displayed when viewing the album through the "Backup Albums" selection menu, however not on the timeline and never synced.

If this should be a separate issue opened let me know.

@kitkatod @natedawg Can you help me with some data points that if

1. You are connecting your instance over a reverse proxy/VPN?
2. You are using Android?

[itzTheMeow]

I'm also having the same issue on the iOS app.
Using a VPN and my instance is behind an nginx reverse proxy.

Logging out and back in loads the new assets.

[alextran1502]

Are you guys also have background backup enabled?

[alextran1502]

If you guys install the app over the APK file in the release, can you try downloading this APK to see if it helps resolve the issue?

[itzTheMeow]

I do not have backup enabled.
Also all of my libraries are external.

[kitkatod]

I can confirm I'm currently running Immich behind a Caddy reverse proxy, and Immich on a Pixel 8 Pro.

After uninstalling Immich on Android and installing the referenced APK it seems to be finding all of the assets it missed!

[alextran1502]

@kitkatod Thank you for help me test the APK. Can you try taking a few photos, wait a bit, then go to the app and see if the app can detect those new photos?

[kitkatod]

I just finished taking a few pictures. Images were uploaded quickly and appeared on the Immich website within seconds. I also followed the same steps after disabling wifi, and after a short delay images started to be uploaded.

I'm using traefik as a reverse proxy and Android with no background sync. Most assets are in a external library.

FYI There was a major Traefik release v3.0 this week. I have not had time to go over the release notes or do any migration if needed. However it looks like others here are using different proxies though.

I will test the apk later today,

[frejaya]

I've had this problem as well. It usually goes away eventually and I keep the icon feature turned off so I mostly ignore it but it's been troublesome for creating albums.

I'm running Immich on Synology NAS DSM with the built-in reverse proxy feature that Synology provides in the control panel of DSM. App on iOS

[alextran1502]

I am hoping the APK is the fix for the solution so we can push out an update for the next release to fix this issue

[natedawg]

Just tested the apk and it's working. New photos show up on Android when opening the app and when refreshing. There are no errors in the log.

#9389
Direct connection with stunnel does not fixes this issue.

[alextran1502]

@freemjohn can you try the APK linked in this issue?

[freemjohn]

@freemjohn can you try the APK linked in this issue?

Harder than looks, can't just update, different signature, forced to resetup

[freemjohn]

Looks like fixed in test version above(cant be updated) and latest update(thats the way) 1.105.1

[freemjohn]

Tested on +4 devices, still need to relogin or no new photos shown 2/4 devices.
