Moved NextCloud Files to new Instance now Live Photo's, Date/Time isn't working?

Hey All,

So recently had to reimage my home server. I saved all my Nextcloud files including a plethora of my photo’s and videos from the last 5 years which where in my old NextCloud instance without a problem.

Upon setting up my account and the User folders being automatically created I moved all my old files back into this folder and ran a command in order to make NextCloud rescan the directory and add them back into NextCloud.

This has all worked well apart from two things, my live photos and the date/time of my photo’s and videos.

  • Live Photos: When trying to view a live photo in the ‘Media’ tab on the iOS app it no longer show as a live photo even though the video and photo file within my files are called the same name as they where previously. It see’s them as seperate files and instead shows me a .mov file and the .jpeg image seperately. Is there an easy way to fix this as it’s driving me insane and I’m worried I’ve lost the ability to redownload any of my photos as a live photo again anymore. FYI any new Live Photo uploads from my phone are fine it’s only my legacy files that seem to be having problems.

  • In the media tab again, even though all my photo’s and video’s are named in the correct format for example “yy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss 0001.jpg” all my photo’s now show under the date 2nd November rather than their actual dates whereas previously they all used to show the correct dates.

Any help would be really appreciated as I’m literally tearing my hair out trying to figure this out at the moment!
