[Fix confirmed] Custom Filter UI doesn't appear in Photo libraries

Still present in: 1.21.0.3616

Same, no filter UI in 1.21.0.3616

Anyone have any ideas how we could get some attention on this?
It seems like it has been broken for far too long.

@Elan Any chance of getting this fixed? Happy to write the code myself if that’ll help. I have 100k @ 700GB of photos and am looking to put the remaining serveral terabytes in Plex… Search would be handy :slight_smile:

Edit 1: Looks like the API works correctly: I’m able to manually perform a search by hitting https://<server>:34200/library/sections/1/all?tag=168&tag=169... so multi-tag searching is working. Guessing its just an issue on the front-end. Maybe a bookmarklet would be sufficient to show it? I don’t know yet. Nothing interesting on the browser console… Hm.

Edit 2: Looks like the LibraryFilterBuilder-container isn’t getting added to the DOM. Guess I dive into the minified JS blob. Looks like the container itself is added in minified 2OOI; rows are constructed in minified URkQ, Row Tags are in Zi5A (Not sure what these are – they don’t appear in the DOM… LibraryFilterBuilderRowTag).

i’ve asked about it.

Was coming here to submit this report, and apparently it’s already a known issue, so I’m subscribing to the thread.

Multi-tag searching is what I’m looking for, as I’m migrating from Google Photos to Plex for my photo library management, and I’m using tags for people’s faces, imported from Picasa tags.

Thanks for asking about it.

Version 1.21.1.3830
Still not working

Thanks to the tip from Cipherboy above, I could create a multi tag filter and from that at least create a smart album as a way to save the search. The multi tagging was done by updating the URL in the following way:

http://:32400/web/index.html#!/media/xxxxxxxxx/com.plexapp.plugins.library?pageType=list&key=%2Flibrary%2Fsections%2F1%2Fall&filters=tag%3D21570%26tag%3D19016%26tag%3D19015%26tag%3D21568&filterLabel=test&save=1

However, I still hope that this will be resolved, rather sooner than later.

PLEX, any updates on the fix? I just started tagging, then realized that I can’t filter my tags; so what’s the point?

I just signed up for a plexpass lifetime subscription. This is the second major feature that is broken and seems to be unresolved for a VERY long time. The other one is broken iOS photo upload on newer versions than 1.19. These are two usecases for me: upload photos from iOS and search them by tags. Not very happy so far as the upload on older PMS works but everything i placed in one folder (can’t specify e.g. the folder structure for uploads) and now the multi tag filters also do not work…not very nice!

This issue is fixed in this build.
