Android app - no photos/places at all in the map view: "No photos in this area" about immich

@dgtal1 fyi, we are looking at reworking these mechanism for the mobile app. Right now it is fetching all data before building the UI, since it was coming from my initial naive design where I don't have a lot of data to begin with 😅. We plan to make those into streaming and rebuilding at the same time instead.

Is this over proxy or local ip?

Both. Doesn't matter how I acccess my immich instance in the app - via local IP or proxy.

New finding: after waiting for ages something gets loaded finally - looks like an image from a thermal camera. Altough the performance is still terrible and the buttons are frozen for a long while when I move the map.

There's a huge performance difference between the web app and the mobile apps. The initial view doesn't freeze in the web app and it's responsive all the time. The mobile apps need 3 times as much time to render the initial view with all the photos.
I think the thermal map rendering may be the problem. It looks nice, but doesn't really add much value to me. The simpler view of the web app is much faster.
Actually I very much like how Photoprism does this. It's fast and shows round thumbs from the places rather than just colored circles. The overall look is better. Perhaps an idea immich could borrow from it 😉

Great news. Thanks and looking forward!
