I just added memories to my nextcloud install, to get some ‘enhanced’ photo management. Problem is, it’s not showing ANY photos. Just videos.

Running NextCloud 27.1.7 on aStartOS

Any thoughts or suggestions are MUCH appreciated.

I have the same issue, I can’t figure out how to fix that.

Please see: Troubleshooting - Memories

And what’s the output of occ memories:index?

Nothing much really,
“Indexing …”
It shows all indexed files and then
“Cleaning up stale index entries”
Here we can see that it only indexes videos, for no particular reasons.
But when I do a files:scan, it properly finds all the images & videos.

No error, but Memories only shows videos. Missing all pictures… (that are in the same folder)

I was not getting it to work either, only videos were being indexed, no images, no errors on index, nothing.

After a bunch of debugging I found the culprit (for me atleast):
‘enable_previews’ was set to false in my main nextcloud config…
Setting it true instantly fixed everything and memories happily started indexing everything.

Apparently Memories uses the “isMimeSupported” functions of nextcloud itself and by setting “enable_previews” to ‘false’ it overwrites all those checks. It’s kind off weird as this app only uses this check for image MIMES, not video, which why all my videos were being index perfectly but no images were being found. (See memories/lib/Services/Index:getMimeList())

In hindsight it was kind off obvious but yeah…
