I’ve read about “the future of Plex” and its separate apps strategy for music, videos, and photos. As a new Plex user I’m concerned, and need some advice on a couple of use cases:
(1) Multimedia. I’d like to be able to easily bring photos, videos, and music together into loosely-organized “shows” or playlists, without having to do all of the production nonsense of making a single integrated video of that product, then showing it by streaming via Plex Server to a TV. If PlexAmp or PlexPhotos, either one or both, could access the same Plex Server’s playlists, and those playlists can be created to contain all media types, and some of those (like music) played as accompaniment to the “videos” of a photo album, paused when videos in the playlist have their own audio, that’s simple and easy. Family related albums continually grow in content; we shouldn’t have to keep re-producing finished .avi or what have you after each memory-worthy event.
(2) With the push to separate apps for the different media types, am I about to waste a bunch of effort building playlists of music, photos, or videos (each separate for now) in Plex Server, only to have to somehow export those over to separate apps?
Thanks.
