unhandled Error: 500 when importing an Apple Photos library with the CLI about immich

[anderbubble]

I used fdupes -rn --delete . to find and remove duplicate files in the library, which let me finish an upload successfully, so I'm no longer stuck. I also realized that --album wasn't doing what I intended, but it was --album-name that I wanted.

But I still think that either immich or the CLI needs to handle this case better.

Windows solution reference:

# This is to output first to see which duplicates are present
$folderPath = "C:\path\to\your\folder"; $hashes = Get-ChildItem -Path $folderPath -Recurse -File | Get-FileHash; $duplicates = $hashes | Group-Object -Property Hash | Where-Object { $_.Count -gt 1 }; $duplicates | ForEach-Object { Write-Output "Duplicate files found:"; $_.Group | ForEach-Object { Write-Output $_.Path }; Write-Output "---" }

# THEN DELETE
$folderPath = "C:\path\to\your\folder"; $hashes = Get-ChildItem -Path $folderPath -Recurse -File | Get-FileHash; $duplicates = $hashes | Group-Object -Property Hash | Where-Object { $_.Count -gt 1 }; $duplicates | ForEach-Object { $_.Group | Select-Object -Skip 1 | Remove-Item -Force }

Looks like this might be the same as #8608.

I've had the exact same problem. (Immich v1.103.1, Immich CLI v2.2.0, Node.Js v21.7.3).

For me, the upload fails with or without the "--recursive" flag. It did successfully upload 171 JPG images via specifying a file name range "file[0-171].JPG", but failed to upload a different batch of about 100 photos. It also uploaded two 1.3GB .AVI files together and a single 1.8GB .MOV file successfully, but failed to upload 1.1GB and 1.8GB .MOV files together.

In my case, I didn't run the command through docker, I just used immich upload -A "iCloud Photo Library" ./*.AVI.

My system never seems to add any assets to an album before failing. If it is going to fail, it always fails at Adding assets to albums | ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ | 0% | ETA: 0s | 0/80 assets
