Face metadata does not get embedded for videos

[Nurgak]

When attempting to embed recognized face region metadata in video assets it gets skipped, this is troublesome as other metadata gets embedded (dates and such). Therefore, after deletion/re-upload of the asset the face region data is lost.

The -faces option should also apply to videos, is there a limitation for face region metadata for videos?

@Majorfi
I pulled the latest image (v1.0.4), but the faces are still not embedded in videos, it works with pictures. So the issue is not solved yet unfortunately.

Also, when checking for version with -version flag the output is immich-exif dev instead of immich-exif v1.0.4 or similar.

The latest merged changes (v1.0.5) still do not solve the issue.

Here's how I test:

An image with 2 persons tagged in Immich:

docker run --rm \
  -e IMMICH_URL=http://immich_server:2283 \
  -e IMMICH_API_KEY=xyz \
  --network=media_immich \
  ghcr.io/majorfi/immich-exif:1.0.5 \
  -faces -dry-run -allow-http -y af4ba8d6-e07b-49e0-bb29-65337a6953d5
[1/1] 4 EXIF mismatch found for IMG_4826.JPG:

    ~ Face regions              (unnamed), (unnamed), (unnamed) -> Person 1, Person 2

A video with same people tagged in Immich:

docker run --rm \
  -e IMMICH_URL=http://immich_server:2283 \
  -e IMMICH_API_KEY=xyz \
  --network=media_immich \
  ghcr.io/majorfi/immich-exif:1.0.5 \
  -faces -dry-run -allow-http -y 790bf667-001a-4cec-8c91-25ef66c1c5cc
[1/1] 3 EXIF mismatch found for IMG_4827.MOV:
    + DateTimeOriginal          (none)               -> 2026-06-24T23:20:13+00:00
    + XMP-exif:DateTimeOriginal (none)               -> 2026-06-24T23:20:13+00:00

Notice that the face regions are not added (according to the logs). I used -dry-run on purpose.

@Nurgak I added more logs, could you re-run it please? I cannot reproduce 🙏
