Amazon S3 Integration for indexing/playing content - Personal video storage solution

Add the ability to add an Amazon S3 bucket instead of a local folder when adding media to the library.

Bonus points, if you also allow an upload integration into the Amazon S3 bucket from the plex web browser, or mobile app (from a camera roll)

How would it work:
When adding a library, you would select your type (movie, tv show, etc…), click Next
When adding a folder, there would be a new option to “Add S3 bucket”
The user would input fields for bucket-name, access-key, secret-access-key, prefix(optional)
Click “Add Library”

This will periodically scan the s3 bucket for new/changed content, and index the content.
Upon playing the content, the S3 data will be streamed from amazon s3 to the plex server to the device.

This will be a great feature for users to uploads their own personal family videos, pictures, audio clicks, etc.

I suppose what you’re asking for is covered in this existing feature suggestion. I recommend you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting votes / attention.
