@mario-g98@theresagresch As it turned out, the photoprism convert command only checked if the video codec is AVC, without also checking if the container is MP4 or has another format like MOV (QuickTime).
Transcoding should not be skipped because some browsers cannot play certain QuickTime AVC videos. My changes improve format checking so that the conversion command no longer skips QuickTime files. An updated development preview will be available for testing soon!
1. What is not working as documented?
When trying to transcode video files using the CLI command
photoprism convert
QuickTime videos get skipped.2. How can we reproduce it?
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
photoprism convert
in terminal3. What behavior do you expect?
The video should get transcoded, but instead it is skipped.
4. What could be the cause of your problem?
Maybe the CLI command is not configured properly?

After the command is finished, I go to the gallery and open the video. It then starts transcoding.
