Umlauts not properly decoded

I switched my big library from Windows to Linux recently and had a bunch of albums and locations with Umlaute like 'AltmÜnster'. Unfortunately they were not correctly 'converted' or so and now i have locations like this. I don't know if there's a way to rename locations like i can do with albums, but maybe there is an easier fix anyway?

How did you convert @Weathon ? This may be solvable by re-downloading the geo data 🤔

WeathonOP•5mo ago

Well I kinda did nothing xD Just backup and restore. Ah right ill try this job thx

Mraedis•5mo ago

What job? geo data isn't a job

WeathonOP•5mo ago

Ah ok so how do I re download geo data?

Mraedis•5mo ago

Trying to find it but I can't immediately 🙃 maybe @Zeus knows, it's his posts I was trying to find

martabal•5mo ago

Downgrading the immich version should trigger the job

WeathonOP•5mo ago

Can you please elaborate a bit ? 🙂

Mraedis•5mo ago

In your env file set any release below current, ie instead of release use v1.122.3

WeathonOP•5mo ago

right and the downgrading will trigger redownloading geo data, which might fix my issue? And then i simply upgrade again?

Mraedis•5mo ago

Yep

WeathonOP•5mo ago

thx will try Unfortunately this did not fix it 😦

martabal•5mo ago

Make sure your postgres db support utf-8

Mraedis•5mo ago

I don't think he's using anything other than stock postgres containers? 👀

martabal•5mo ago

I don’t remember if you have to specify if the database supports utf-8 (database≠postgres)

WeathonOP•5mo ago

Yep, i'm using plain docker compose. The only difference was Windows -> Linux
