Photos in library do not show on Plex app

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.23.6.4881
Player Version#: No idea. Latest Plex app on iPhone.

Hi all. New to Plex. Love it. The app successfully shows every video in the library I scanned.

However, none of the photos appear. When I click on the folders in the Plex app on my iPhone that are supposed contain the .jpeg photos on my hard drive, the screen reads “No content” and shows a picture of a shark smiling and watching TV.

I do not know if I did anything in the settings to cause this.

FYI, the .jpeg files aree 200-400 KB and about 1086 X 724 in dimension in case that matters.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you much in advance.

I take it you have created a photo-type library and pointed that to the folder with the pics?

I had a feeling this was a simple answer.

The library that I created is an “Other Videos” type.

Is it possible for a library to contain more than one type? ie “Photos” and “Other Videos”?

Photo libraries will actually support photos and basic playback of video clips.
All other libraries only support their designated media type.

That’s great info. Thank you!

Can I edit the type or do I need to recreate and rescan?

You’ll need to create a new library.
