Hi all Plex users and Plex team!
I love Plex and I bough a Plex Pass only for its “Camera Upload” amazing feature.
I’ve been waiting this kind of feature for a long time to :
- import my photos quickly and cordless on my computer (to PMS),
- avoid uploading my personal photos on a cloud (because of privacy concerns and also my poor internet connection).
But I think this could be HIGHLY improved to become a real “Photos Manager”, no only a streaming server.
I’m sure this could be THE “Plex killer feature” that will make many users buy a Plex pass!
So please let me make a set of feature request about it (I’ll do several posts, as described in forum guidelines)
If you also want a feature, don’t forget to vote for it (by liking my corresponding post).
MANY THANKS! B)
Request #4
Do (wired) Camera upload for real cameras (not smartphones), like Google Photos
Camera upload feature IS great, but WHY only do it for mobile devices and not allowing it for “real” camera devices (compact, reflex, …) ?!?
The idea would be that PMS proposes to upload content from a camera when plugged to the computer hosting the PMS :
Would you like to import photos & videos to your Plex Media Server ?
That’s what the Google Photos daemon on my computer do each time I plug my digital camera to my computer.
On a mobile device, like iOS, we can from the Plex app client configure a library (eg “My mobile photos”) where the mobile photos will be uploaded (renamed & tagged automatically).
So there could be an option to PMS level to configure a library (eg “My camera photos”) used by default to import everything coming from a digital camera plugged to the computer.
That will allow to easily import the photos on it, but also rename them accordingly to the Plex standard (date of shooting) and tag them if the option is enabled.
There could also have an option to remove photos from the digital camera once uploaded with success on the PMS.
Thanks for reading, don’t forget to like this post if you like this feature request!
