Videos with incorrect locations [Immich issue]
I've imported my gphotos library using mattwilson1024/google-photos-exif tool and then the Immich CLI
The google-photos-exif-tool did not write any metadata regarding locations on videos, only on photos
However, when uploading to Immich, Immich decided random locations for those videos. So now my map is full of videos on random African countries and even the middle of the Pacific ocean.

If you check the files with exiftool, do they have location metadata?
I think this may be the same thing https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/3923

The bug as the title says I haven't been there, but the map shows that I have taken some media there. and these media files do not have GPS coordinates. I haven't checked all of these files...
my bad. Windows did not show any location, but exiftool does. For instance: 48 deg 13' 37.92" N, 16 deg 21' 58.32" E
Those coordinates are Vienna, Austria, which is actually the correct location
However, Immich is showing this location: Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands
Does it have a GPS altitude field? I think there's a bug where that gets mixed up currently
There's an open PR that fixes multiple issues around this stuff https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/2908

fix(server): use exiftool decoded values and unify metadata extract...
There was a lot of unnecessary stuff happening which exiftool should have already taken care of. It's been replaced with the values provided by the exiftool package and the code is much cleaner...
Do you mean this?
Yeah
well, at least it seems it must be a bug. Immich does not overwrite metadata, right? So once there's a fix for this, rerunning the metadata job should do the work and I'd not need to re-upload all the stuff, right?
Indeed
and yeah, it seems #2859 is probably the bug I have
Thank you very much for the really fast answers btw!
