v1.120.0 - 50.000 Stars Release

Welcome to release v1.120.0 of Immich. We've reached 50.000 stars on GitHub. Thank you for your love, support, and contributions to the project.

This release introduces a new built-in automatic database dump feature as well as bug fixes and enhancements. Some of the highlights include:

• Built-in automatic database backups
• Timeline location indicator on scrolling
• The web is now on Svelte 5
• Faster CPU transcoding for HDR videos
• Notable fix: Slow server start-up time on some systems

Built-in automatic database backups

This release introduces a mechanism that automatically creates a database dump and is enabled by default. It will run at 2 AM server time and keep the last 14 backups, all of which are configurable. You can find the settings in Administration > Settings > Backup Settings

The database zip files are placed at <UPLOAD_LOCATION>/backups.

Below is an example of a database backup size for a library with 80_000 assets.

Currently, restores must be done manually, and instructions can be found in the documentation

Timeline location indicator on scrolling

The timeline on the web will now show the Month/Year information while scrolling to better indicate the viewport context.

Faster CPU transcoding for HDR videos

Immich now uses a faster tone-mapping implementation developed by the Jellyfin team to map colors from HDR to SDR. During testing, overall transcoding speed improved by as much as 69% for a 4K target resolution. The exact improvement will depend on hardware, source video, and transcoding settings.

[!NOTE] Note for third-party Immich distributions: as this filter only exists in jellyfin-ffmpeg, please ensure you use this build instead of a standard FFmpeg build.
