gphotos_sort VS untrunc

Sometime the browser does not refresh immediately.. look at https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_ (recently added), if you see the 4 photos there, go to https://photos.google.com/ and refresh (multiple times, if necessary).

On the web app (photos.google.com) and the android app, it's "description" but yes i agree with this post regardless. You can use it for keywords or whatever you want and it becomes way more searchable.

With my latest set of photos taken with a Pixel 8 Pro, the photos in the albums display with the album name, but the date doesn't display for them (and only them). Previous photos from previous albums are fine. The exif data on the new Pixel 8 Pro photos looks correct when viewed both within Google Photos app and photos.google.com.

When viewed via https://photos.google.com they error: "An error occurred. Please try again later."

That’s strange. Can you see them on https://photos.google.com?

Delete from https://photos.google.com.

However, I just tried doing a "3 dot" Download all in an album in photos.google.com , as well as a Takeout of the same album. File sizes are the same, and seems like the metadata is in both downloads... I have checked with exiftool too!

1) Open any web browser and go to photos.google.com 2) Click on 'Create Album', and give it a Title e.g. Screenshots 3) Click on 'Add Photos' 4) Click on the upload cloud at the top right 5) Click 'Select from computer' 6) In the dialog box that opens, scroll down the left pane to Media > Photos and click it 7) In the right pane, below the Photos app icon, scroll down to Albums > Screenshots 8) All screenshots will be displayed. Select all, click 'Open' and import into Google Photos 9) In Photos on Mac, find 'Screenshots' under albums. Select and delete all to free up iCloud space.

I can see the "motion" icon on photos.google.com but its not showing all the individual photos at the bottom of the screen. How can I turn this on so I can edit one and delete the rest.

If you have a Windows PC, try using untrunc. Download the x64 version here.

Otherwise you may need to rename it to .mp4 and use Untrunc

I had originally tried with the original ponchio version, but I found anthwlock's fork which (amongst other things) says it "supports GoPro and Sony XAVC videos". Sure enough, I fired up a docker container for it on my mac and was able to recover the video. I now have most of the match.

Untrunc might save you here, if the camera is shooting MP4 or MOV.

I have had some luck using untrunc to fix video files. As long as you have a working video from the device the video was made on it usually does a good job. not sure about photo recovery however. https://github.com/anthwlock/untrunc

I gave untrunc a try with your video and it seems that only 30 seconds of video are there and are mostly corrupted. There's no accident on the video. Perhaps other software might work better, but I doubt there's any readable data there.

I have two corrupt MP4 files that were shot last month; one on Canon R5 and the other on GoPro. Initially, the two files were perfectly normal; however, after sitting untouched in an external hard drive for a month, both files could not be opened by any software (Microsoft Films & TV, VLC, etc.). Fortunately, the R5 video was recovered using anthwlock's Untrunc and I was able to recover the GoPro video by pasting a hex code header copied from another working GoPro video.

Try the Open Source Untrunc. https://github.com/anthwlock/untrunc/releases/tag/latest
