v1.72.0

[alextran1502]

v1.72.0

Breaking Changes ⚠️

• The mobile app needs to be on the same version of the server v1.72.0 to operate correctly.
• Drop support for armV7

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.72.0 of Immich. This release includes improvements across the board, from UI elements on both the web and the mobile app client to the server’s support for hardware transcoding. Some of the key highlights include:

• Initial support for hardware transcoding.
• Manually upload assets from the mobile app.
• Optimized views on the web.
• Album description.

Hardware transcoding

Thanks, @mertalev, for working on this feature. You can now use a GPU to speed up video transcoding in Immich. We hope to receive feedback from you on this experimental feature.

The docker-compose.yml file is updated to support this feature. You can read about how to enable hardware transcoding here

Manually upload assets from the mobile app

You can now choose single or multiple photos and videos to perform selective backup in addition to the existing mass backup mechanism.

Optimized views on the web

This refactor has been in the backlog for a while, and thanks to @jrasm91 for working on this. The optimized virtual viewport is now used in the following views on the web.

• Main timeline
• Archive
• Favorite
• Person’s detail

We plan to add this virtual viewport to all the views in the future to ensure a top-notch browsing experience.

Album description

Album now has a description field; you can add/edit it on the web. The description can also be used to search for an album using m:<album-description> syntax. Mobile doesn't have this feature yet.

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Please consider supporting the project.

This discussion was created from the release v1.72.0.

Any hints on how to update to this version on an Oracle ARM machine? It seems like it cannot find an ARM65/v8 image and defaults to an AMD image: Here is the error I get: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8).

[uninvitedguest]

I'm excited for hardware acceleration but not jumping on it just yet. How would trying to load the hwaccel.yml work when using a stack in Portainer? I'm not aware of how it could be "stored in the same directory" as the compose.yaml.

[jrasm91]

You can copy/paste the relevant section to effectively "inline it".

Why armv7 is no longer supported ? I wanted to install it on my NAS My Cloud EX2 Ultra.

[bo0tzz]

armv7 is an outdated architecture that is no longer supported by some of our dependencies and was causing issues with overly long build times.
