I’ve got 50,000 photos and I want my family to be able to browse and watch the photos from their laptops, smartphones and the TV. It’s quite worthless having all those photos if no one ever watches them cause they’re only browseable in a good way on the stationary computer i use for photoediting/tagging.
To be a platform independent solution Plex with dlna/upnp seems the way to go.
With 50k photos you just can’t browse folders, you’ll go insane before finding the right photos.
Browsing by keywords represented by virtual folders is good, but browsing by ONE keyword/tag/metadata just doesn’t cut it.
What is needed is support of multiple level of keywords, at the very least two levels.
As far as i’m concerned a dynamic two-level virtual folder structure based on keywords would be far better than one keywords.
Let’s say you open the virtual folder for the keyword “Birthday”, then you would be presented with virtual folders for all the keywords that coexist with “Birthday” for any image thus filtering the result further for every step.
There seem to be a gap in the market for this right now, and I guess Plex would gain some traction in the photo community if this was implemented
As posted in the pinned topic "Rules for this forum (Inc. How to Vote.)" it is better to have one feature / bug per topic. Also it is better not to have the same feature in more than on topic otherwise there is a risk in splitting votes.
I think this topic is really an extension of this other topic. "Refresh the Photo Library plugin with Support for XMP:"
At this point there isn't support even to filter on a single tag which is what the other topic is about. Your idea of a multiple tag filter was not explicitly mentioned in the other topic. Any search or filter option should allow a selection of multiple tags so that as you pointed out making it better when working with a large library of photos to actually find the photos you are looking for. Thanks for bringing that up

Yep! There is even an older one than the one you linked ;)
PS: @elan is huge photography enthusiast, he should be the first one who hates the current Photos Library capabilities :) For the record; Synology DS Photo is near perfect solution.
