In order to make photo sharing a viable tool, we need to be able to define who gets to see what. The current mechanism (labelling) works, but doesn’t scale well as you currently have to apply labels to photos individually. This quickly becomes impossible.
The user should be able to multi-select the albums (currently possible) and then bulk edit them to add labels (feature request).
Thanks!
Personally, I think a better approach would be for Plex to understand photo metadata properly. All my photos are already tagged (with descriptive-, face-, and geo-tags), using photo metadata standards that are understood and acted upon by multiple tools and applications, but not Plex.
Oooh, that would be really good too. I’d be nice to be able to set sharing based on tags etc. I’ve found a couple of other feature requests for that and voted them up this one and this one seem good.
It really seems odd that this isn’t already in - EXIF/IPTC/XMP support seems like a basic piece of functionality for any Photos app.
Well, to be fair to Plex, the server does already track some of the Exif properties, and these are exposed as filters in at least some of the Plex clients (e.g. the Plex app in the Windows Store). But these are the technical “when” and “how” attributes of photos. Plex knows nothing about the “who” “what” and “where” attributes described by IPTC/XMP metadata…
Why is this still not possible, seems like an easy thing to implement…?
Labelling I don´t want to do in Plex, but for Plex to read the EXIF would be great, vote here:
