Plex Photos App (iphone) does not recognize library

Server Version#: 4.145.1

I just switched to the Photos App because the Plex App does not show photos libraries any more. So far, Photos were working fine.

However, the Photos App also does not see my photos libraries (which the web app certainly does). Do I miss any configuration or anything?

The Photos app has not worked in a couple of months

Is there any info on either re-vitalising or decomissioning the photo functionality… Does anybody have recommendations on alternative apps?

Similar problem here. While Windows-hosted Plex Media Server photo libraries appear fine, Linux-hosted photo libraries are completely missing, despite working ok in web app and the old Plex mobile app.

I’m running a Plex server on Ubuntu 22.04/Raspberry Pi. I’ve tried both snap and apt repos, to no avail.

Try signing out and in again.

siging out and in worked for me. Thank you.
plex server running on Raspberry PI 5 / Debian OS.

same in libraries hosted in FreeBSD, ist it a *nix problem ?

Try checking your local LAN for adware blockers like PiHole and whitelisting the used hosts.

When I disabled DNS blocking or whitelisted the sites (being blocked) for the Plex Photo App, it started to show my libraries for me.

Still the app in total is a piece of crap so far. A major downgrade from the functionality inside the main Plex app.

No landscape view of images/videos.
No seeking inside played videos.
No details shown on the folders or images. (like path on the server etc.)

No option to reload/rescan media libraries.

Everything that worked perfectly on the main (old) app.

So the person conciously deciding to destroy the main Plex App (taking functionality out) and replacing it with this unworthy piece of software should really rethink his job position.

After all the well functioning Android App, at least for me, was a major reason to buy a license for the Plex Server.
