Photo and metadata (tags) from lightroom

Server Version#: 1.16.3.402
Player Version#: 3.104.1

I am a newbie for plex so apologize for the stupid question:-)
I have used for years lightroom to organize my photos, and I want to know if jpg generated by lightroom are well managed by plex.

in detail, lightroom fills the “tags” field. These information are usable to browse on plex the library?

in my first test seems not working, but probably am I missing something?

No, you haven’t missed anything. Plex does not read embedded metadata in photos. There is a feature request to add this. Please consider voting.

Hi all,

as @beckfield has already stated that this is not possible within plex. But it is possible by using python and the Plex API.

If have created a script that updates all tags and rating for all images and users (rating is user based) in Plex from the jpeg embedded xmp data.
This script is based on a watchdog, exif and plexpy and some findings in plex api.
It is also possible to create albums with the script.
This script uses the Plex API like Tautulli but requires the timeline feature so you need a Plex Pass.
If you are interested, I plan to finalize it and put it on GitHub or similar.
