Plex Photos - Library Something went wrong. An unexpected error occurred

Still issues with this after several months of errors. Rebuilt the database several times over and even set up a compeletely new “Family Photos” Library and still have this issue. What is the ETA for fixing this most basic functionality of Plex? It’s the whole reason I purchased and set up Plex in the first place.

What is going on with a resolution to this issue?

@ChuckPa
The well known failure (“Plex photos - library something went wrong”) still exists!
Are you taking this serious?
It’s destroying our faith in PLEX !!!
I think we deserve an answer about expected time of a solution.
Thanks

You wrote this was assigned to an engineer in October of 2024. It’s January 2025 and this issue still exists. Any eta on an update to fix the issue?

since many weeks no improvement,
I’m back to version 1.40.3.8555, this version still works without such failure messages
trust in PLEX is melting away…

Can we please have an update on this?
It has been a long time since the Photo Library is completely broken for me…

Issue with broken usability of folder structure for pictures is existing since July 2024 !!!
Did Plex end the business activities without a notice?
ETA for a solution and a kindly reply is expected !!!

Same issue here, really annoying and hope they fix it soon.
I thought it was my ubuntu install, but happens on clean installs across Ubuntu, Windows,
It looks to only affect the web browser for me right now, but the iPhone app works fine.

did the same, thanks!

Sadly I am not surpised. No sign of this in the release announcement.

I’m assuming you mean server side as in the server I’m running and not the client trying to view the photos. I can’t imagine tying this problem to a remote server. In any case, it’s been a year now and your slack engineers haven’t touched the issue. As a plex pass member I paid specifically for the photos feature, and it’s been dead for a year. No excuses, get it fixed.

I have the same issue. Version 4.145.1 . Plex Midea Server Version 1.41.6.9685. Please help !!!

Hey all,

I jumped in and fixed this issue this week, I’ve been told the next release for the Web client should be around the end of the month.

Still looking for end of April ?

I haven’t been told otherwise.

The last update hasn’t fixed anything and we’re into May. Any update on the fix? Thanks!

Please inquire and let us know soon about ETA of a solution.

It’s a very disappointing situation for a very long time now.

Shortly after I signed (and paid) for the lifetime Plex pass,
I noticed that these truly serious problems have been going on since 2024/07 !!!

Thanks in advance

Just scatter gunning my annoyance of this issue on all of the threads that mention it…
