Be able to send photos or videos via email, iMessage, Facebook, etc.
I am using Plex as a home media server for my home videos and pictures. When viewing photos and videos from my iPad, Plex gives the look and feel of the Photo app, but is missing some key functionality. Say grandma likes a photo, I have no way of sending it to her. I have no way of zooming in or out. I cannot swipe to the next photo.
1) A share button for photos/videos that brings up the usual options (iMessage, email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) - This is a distinct request from the request to add sharing to Plex. This would download the file to your iOS device and place it in an email or Message or upload to your linked Facebook account (as opposed to a link to your Plex server with permissions of some sort). For videos, there should likely be a limit to the file size and maybe Plex can transcode larger files to make them sendable.
2) Pinch gestures to zoom in and out of photos
3) Swipe gesture to move to the previous/next photo/video
4) Additionally, Sync does not give you the option to download a single photo like you can do with videos. This should probably be separate request, but I'm keeping it here because it seems like a minor addition to the above.
Thanks again to the development team for all the great work!!
Pinch/swipe to zoom/move was working for pictures in the prevoius versions. It seems to be a bug in the latest one (3.0.2) that this isn’t working anymore. But the usability was really poor (I hope that this wasn’t turned of because of that ), the zoom was very slow and the next/previous photo was not cached so the swiped in picture was the very lowres thumbnail and it tooks 1-2 seconds to see the fullres picture. I hope the picture/photo sections get some love in the future to have this working like the native ios photo app.
