If using the official docker image, add `OC\Preview\HEIC` to `enabledPreviewProviders` in your `config.php`. - If local time is not found in the photo (especially for videos), the server timezone is used. +- The app can work with external storage for photos. + - The photos in the external storage needs to be at the same _relative_ path that is configured for the timeline. For example, if your storage is mounted as `/External/` and your photos are in `/External/MyPhotos/`, then you need to configure the timeline to be `MyPhotos/`. This will look for `MyPhotos/` in all external storages as well as your root home directory, and aggregate these photos. + - You also need to set up a cron job for the index command if you: + - Use the same timeline for multiple users. + - Delete and restore files from the external storage. + - If you add any photos from outside Nextcloud, you must run the scan and index commands. + - This function is experimental and may not work as expected. Please report any issues. ## Special Thanks Nextcloud team. At least one half of the code is based on the work of the [Nextcloud Photos](https://github.com/nextcloud/photos). \ No newline at end of file
