Photos are scanned by the standard Scanner (look here: [https://github.com/plexinc-plugins/Scanners.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Resources/Photos/Plex%20Photo%20Scanner.py](https://github.com/plexinc-plugins/Scanners.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Resources/Photos/Plex%20Photo%20Scanner.py) ) and additional metadata is extracted by the media server during analysis.  There is not a separate agent like there is for other types of media. ---

Hi, in this case, how can we update the media infos shown on photo, when we click on the "i" icon ? how can we show most of the exif info ? can we build an agent, dedicated for photo, working like other agent ? (anyway, I don't know how the other agent are working....) I am also interested in updating the way the photos infos are shown. and later, I would like to do the same for personal videos... thanks for any infos, tuto or help. Olivier ---

hi, I'm interested  to get more metadata from the photo too. The Plex agent seems to extract the EXIF metadatas, but it doesn't extract the XMP or the RDF. For exemple, with Windows, Picasa or XnView, you can set tags to each jpeg file. It seems that those tags are saved under an XMP or RDF metadata.  It would be perfect if we could make a search or a filter using those tags with plex (as we can with Windows or Picasa) So I try to find/make a custom agent that would store those metadatas. Do you have an idea of where or how I can make this ? Thank you ! ---

Not a developer, but just a plexpass subscriber. If you accomplish this, it would be exactly what I am looking for! ---
