Photo library enhancements

Server Version#: 1.19.4.2935
Player Version#:

Hi,
I have been using Plex for several years and have recently decided to share family photos. I have created the library with several thousand photos and as I am a Plex Pass user, I have enabled the’Tag Photos’ and ‘Save Location Names’ features but was disappointed that the metadata for geolocation and date etc. is not more visible or usable.

I have one issue that since I enabled the ‘Tag Photos’ it seems to have screwed up the library in that a large proportion do not have thumbnails, but when I select and analyse, thumbnails are then displayed. I have tried deleting the library and recreating it but the issue remains. I have seen suggestions within the forums that this may be impacted by Synology Drive and it so happens that I am using Synology Drive to Sync my entire media library from the Plex Server to a Synology NAS, however, I could not find anything concrete to suggest this was an issue or how to resolve it.

For the Photo library, I would also like to request some enhancements;

  • Option to show geolocation with thumbnail
  • Option to show Date with thumbnail
  • Filter photos by geolocation, date or device
  • Create Albums from geolocation, date or device

Specify and use level of detail for location within displays and filters

  • Country
  • City
  • Street

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Actually I have now worked through the issues (by organization of the photos and use of albums) and whilst not perfect, it is an acceptable improvement. This item can be closed. Thanks
