Feature Request - Photo tagging, add names, etc.

Hi All,

As a plex user that adds various content to his server i also tested the Photo handling of Plex. As it is missing the ability to add extra information i would like to request the following feature:

As a user i want the ability to tag my pictures with information in order for me to filter these pictures.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

Hakulaku

This request has already been raised in this forum (a number of times). Personally, I would prefer that Plex would be aware of photo metadata, so that we could have a better browsing and searching experience. I use other tools for editing/managing my photo metadata.

That said plex is (I think) mostly oriented toward video, especially movies.

I’d really like to have a way to organize and search photos by tags.

I’m sure there are multiple posts regarding this feature request but searching for them all is making my eyes hurt. I simple want to also add a voice and vote for either custom tagging for photos or pulling specific metadata for better searching. I have way more photos than both music and video. A more customized search feature would be ideal and one of the last remaining reasons I use another media server.

Please vote this one up as well.

Realy essential to use the Meta data - Built in proper Photo Apps like ACDsee - for presenting

This is the correct answer - manually adding tags in Plex makes no sense - the TAGS should be in the metadata and xml of the file in the Library to start with
