✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

🔎 Did you run the script with verbose mode enabled?

No (this issue will likely be closed automatically)

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

Immich

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/immich.sh)"

⚙️ What settings are you using?

Default Settings
Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

No response

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

pve-manager/9.1.1/42db4a6cf33dac83 (running kernel: 6.17.2-2-pve)

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

I searched for this issue but found nothing related to it.
I did run the script in verbose, but the log is too large and i didn't know how to extract it.
If someone can explain it to me, then I can submit it later.

The metadata of my external library was loaded in the web interface, but no metadata was extracted.
The error could be identified in the logs, which is stored in the error log.

In my case i have a priviliged LXC because i had to mount my NAS direct into it.
All my images have XMP files stored alongside them.

I solved the problem as follows.

I had to manually add the dependency libimage-exiftool-perl with apt install -y libimage-exiftool-perl in LXC, after which the metadata extraction worked.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

Step 1: install as usual bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/main/ct/immich.sh)" (setup gpu passthrough yes, openvino yes)
Step 2: create an external library
Step 3: link an external library source to it
Step 4: wait for extraction

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

Error: BatchCluster has ended, cannot enqueue -json -api struct=1 -use MWG -api geolocation -api keepUTCTime -Duration# -GPSAltitude# -GPSLatitude# -GPSLongitude# -GPSPosition# -GeolocationPosition# -Orientation# -FocalLength# -FileSize# -all /mnt/bilder/D50_8760.xmp -ignoreMinorErrors -execute at BatchCluster.enqueueTask (/opt/immich/app/node_modules/.pnpm/batch-cluster@15.0.1/node_modules/batch-cluster/dist/BatchCluster.js:150:25)

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

Whoa looks like you stumbled on a rather new-ish Immich bug - but their fix is to change the metadata.repository.ts file because there's already some variant of exiftool installed via pnpm.

But this is good info in case that fix doesn't work for us. Thanks for making this report and for already having a solution! I'll leave this open until 2.4.0 drops to see what shakes out.

I tried using the new metadata.repository.ts file and I'm still getting the errors. The exiftool-vendored is 31.3.0 so it might be because it's not at 33.0.0.

I'm curious how you tested that. Did you grab the file and then build the server again?

Also the issue I linked above was closed, but this one has some good info. You should consider telling them that installing exiftool in Trixie fixed the issue, if you have proof of that. The Immich base-image is built on Trixie, so if it does work, then they might consider adding exiftool as a dependency when they generate the base-images.

Just rebooting the server is not enough, the typscript needs to be compiled agian. You need to rebuild the app for such a change to take effekt.

Actually this is the workaround: restart Immich server after encountering "BatchCluster has ended". I believe this is what fixed the issue in the first place.

Btw, the upstream bug in exiftool-vendored/batch-cluster was promptly fixed 🎉
