ERROR bad link to ....

[bojangles9]

Describe the bug
Some files are reporting bad links to certain files, however those files are healthy and acessible in the folder structure. I take it the video files failing is still a known issue and cannot be fixed?

To Reproduce
gphotos-sync /storage

The mov files are probably broken. You can try searching in the Web UI for the filename and downloading manually - it will likely fail.

I don't understand what is happening with the other files. If you type:

 ls /storage/photos/2021/01/IMG_20210104_104239.jpg

do you see the file?

Yes! File is there, intact, and viewable. What more logs can I provide.

Regarding the .MOV files, yes they are not downloadable. However there are some mp4's that are failing above that which aren't working either but can be downloaded from web interface.

The mp4 issue is with the Google API see #119. The links to jpgs failing is still a mystery. Does it happen if you run sync again ( and those files are already there)

I'm also seeing the same - things like this in logs:

04-13 02:00:32 ERROR    bad link to /<path>/DSC_1174.JPG 

but the file is intact and viewable at that path.

I'm releasing a new version of gphotos-sync and closing stale issues. Please reopen if you still want me to look at this. Thanks.
