Library with multiple media types

I’d like to be able to have both photos and movie clips in the one library. It’s probably easier to describe how I would use this library to make the need understood.

I have just returned from a holiday. My phone is full of both Photos and Short movie clips from the trip and I would like to be able to have these together in a single library that I can share with family users.

Currently I would need to place these in 2 separate libraries covering the same trip which makes viewing the photos/movie clips in chronological order difficult

I believe photo libraries now support videos, but it might be a library setting.

I looked and couldn’t find a setting (or any forum posts) before posting this, but after your post I threw a movie clip into the folder for the photos library and you are right, it played just fine. This exactly suits my needs, I can just drag all files from phone to the library folder.

Thanks Diarumnus.

Mods, if you are watching go ahead and close this topic, the feature I was requesting is already there, if not well advertised
