Updated: 2023-09-09
Nextcloud version : 27.0.2
Operating system and version : Debian 12
Apache or nginx version : Apache 2.4.57-2
PHP version : 8.2.7
The issue you are facing:
I have just set up a new local installation and “Media Places” are always empty.
When checking the developer console in Chrome I see the following:
Call: https://MYSERVER/remote.php/dav/photos/MYUSER/places/
Result: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
When I check the database table: oc_file_metadata I see that I do indeed have metadata “photos_place”
I have also tried to run :
sudo -u www-data php occ photos:map-media-to-place
With no change in behaviour.
I have had it working, but I removed all media using the UI and uploaded it again, and after uploading again the places were not working anymore.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? : Y
Steps to replicate it:
- Fresh install of NextCloud
- Set up the user that should be the owner of the images
- Copy the the images into the users data/USER/files/Photos/some_folder_under directly on the filesystem
- Wait for the cron jobs or run:
- sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan USER
- sudo -u www-data php occ photos:map-media-to-place
- Check Places in Media - No results.
- Copy one file from the folder Photos/some_folder_under to Photos
- Now there is a Place available (If the image has GPS data that means)
