Sorry if this has been asked before but couldn’t find an answer after searching for an hour.

I’m trying to add apple photos to plex (from my MAC, running Ventura OS) . I created a new library and pointed to my local photo database, but only one photo showed up (I have approx 12K).

Are there specific instructions for a) setting this up b) setting any specific permissions that are needed.

Thanks!!!
