Camera Upload - videos go to Photos library, not Home Videos?

First, thanks to Plex for giving Camera Upload some love, and adding support for backing up videos :slight_smile:

However, I’ve noticed that those videos end up in my Photos library, and there doesn’t seems to be a way to specify a different library for them, eg, my Home Videos library.

Am I missing something, or is it better to call this a feature request?

This is the way the current upload mechanism works. Everything gets uploaded to the same location. You can of course manually separate them out if you’d like.

Currently I use a daily scheduled task to run the below powershell. This moves video files that have been uploaded into the camcorder directory.

$Files = get-childitem "c:\pictures" *.mp4 foreach ($File in $Files){ Move-Item -LiteralPath $File.fullname "c:\film\camcorder" -force }

Thanks harroguk, great idea.

Here’s a crontab version for those of us on OS X or Linux, that will move them once a day at 3am:

# move home videos from camera upload 0 3 * * * mv /path/to/cameraUpload/*.mp4 /path/to/homeVideos/
