Hi, I set up Memories app and I am trying to play videos and get the following error:
It looks like we may need to enable a few more features on the backend. We have an update that is about done, but Iāll look into this for the following update. Thank you for the report!
Ok thanks for the update!
I was also extremely excited about this feature of Memories:
āAI Tagging: Group photos by people and objects, powered by recognize and facerecognition.ā
This does not appear to be working either, how do I enable these features?
Iāll need the error youāre getting and I can look into if thereās anything required fro the tagging feature
From what i understand, i have to first install the two app dependencies:
Recognize: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/recognize
Face Recognition: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/facerecognition
I installed Recognize, but it just appears that nothing happened? How do i get it to ārunā and recognize stuff?
I got this error when trying to install face recognition
This is the info I need. I will see about including the required dependencies into a future update

Hey, just wondering when we may see updates here?
The original error posted in regard to the Memories app will be addressed in an update that is about to enter beta testing. This also includes an update to the latest Nextcloud server, bug fixes, and some other Memories-related Actions. In regard to the other 2 apps in question: Recognize is actually run from the Administrator settings - and Iām testing this on the new version now. Face Recognition will require some more dependencies/config - I will try to squeeze it into this update, but it may take until the next one.
More generally, it helps expedite development when folks make bug reports / feature requests on the Nextcloud wrapper page. This helps us understand/prioritize bugs, as well as understand what features people desire and get those in line for addition as well. Feedback is also the simplest way to contribute to Open Source.
Hi, I wanted to follow up on this.
One of my biggest goals with buying a start9 server was to replace the ease of Google Photos in terms of managing/discovery of my personal photo archive while maintaining privacy.
Without the face/object/location detection the NextCloud memories app is little more than a nice chronological archive, which isnāt what i was looking for.
Do we have any updates on the recognize dependencies? How do I get my Nextcloud memories instance working like Google photos?
Following up on this again
Hi @Ocean2526, I checked with the team on this and was informed that one of these two apps (Face Recognition and Recognize) is operational now. Iām going to validate on a test Nextcloud instance and follow up.
@Ocean2526 I can confirm that the Recognize 5.0.3 app is functional now. Were you able to try using it recently?
Installed Recognize 5.0.3:
āCould not execute the Node.js binary. You may need to set the path to a working binary manually.ā
Went to my administration setting page for the Recognize app; have a list of errors for every category of settings. 
need help please.
Iām running 27.1.7 version of Nextcloud, 5.0.3 of Recognize, and 0.9.40 of Face Recognition.
Did the following:
- Updated Nextcloud version to: 27.1.7
- Uninstalled Face Recognition entirely.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled Recognize.
When i attempted to āenableā it loads and thinks, but then it never enabled. It just defaults back to āunenabledā status.
Hi @Ocean2526, Iām sorry about the delayed response. I installed and tested the Recognize app and was unable to see its functionality. Iām going to double check with the team to see if someone has this up and running to potentially serve as a reference case.
Hi @Ocean2526, can you confirm if you ever ran the āDownload Machine Learning Models for Recognizeā action (found under Services > Nextcloud > Actions) as depicted in the screenshot here? Let us know.
Ah, good point. I have tried this in the past, but not since i did a fresh install. Will run it now.
