IOS Syncronization issue, keeps trying to upload the same files over and over again

[mjh2901]

The bug

I have Go Pro files that fail to upload, but the system retries them every day, so instead of moving through the library and uploading other smaller files it attempts to reupoad the same movie files every day which takes hours, then after failing it move on to other stuff but the next day when I launch the app it starts the entire process over again. I checked the logs and there are a ton of "Failed to Hash FIle" erros

Are you using a reverse proxy, DNS? Have you try with local IP?

[jianglai]

The new release seems to have fixed this issue for me. Thanks!

[DeviousM]

Same, new release made it possible to sync photos in the end! iOS app still crashes every couple of hundreds of photos for some reason, but at least now it doesn't have to start over every single time 😅
Thanks @alextran1502!

[alextran1502]

@DeviousM crashing on iOS is a known issue when uploading iCloud photos. It is due to the library we use to retrieved the assets. There is no fix for it currently 😅

[levifig]

All latest versions of both server and apps, and my phone is still trying to upload older stuff that I know is already uploaded, which means it'll never finish syncing (I have over 1TB of assets across > 45k items)... :(

[levifig]

@levifig can you help with your entire timeline?

Was the initial 40k upload coming from a different device...etc?

Yes: initial upload via macOS, backup turned on from my iPhone 15PM.

I have very similar behaviour in server v1.108.0. But it seems to only affect relatively large video files from apple photos. iOS app uploads the video file 600MB+ gets nearly to the end like 97% or so and then goes onto the next file. When reopening the app, it would then retry the same set of video files. No errors in either server docker logs or iOS app logs.

I was using traefik for reverse proxy for TLS. Reading this thread I noticed about not using a reverse proxy, so I used http direct to the exposed port, and the upload is for somer eason slower (5MB rather than 10MB).

Now it is getting to 100% and appears to have completed! Would love to get to the bottom of this, keen to hear ideas from anyone on possible causes, could be traefik or my config is not good, but hope that solution can help others who might have the same issue!

I was having the same error for 10 files in the last couple weeks (iCloud Photo Library from iOS). Changing to my local IP fixed the issue.
