This is a bad decision, the new Plex experience should mediate the personal and cloud based content, and there is nothing more private than our photos.
iOS apps still display the full recently added photos in the hub. The web clients, only show the last photo.
Recently Added in Photos appears on the Plex Server, Roku Client, Android Client and Firestick Client but not on Windows 10 (Chrome) client. Also, I can’t move or get rid of the Recent Channels or On Now hubs.
First they took the Photo Syncing functionality away and now this. What’s the point?
There were three types of media we cared, pirated movies, pirated music and our private pictures. Pirating is slowly dying with streaming being so cheap, and Plex always sucked for music anyway, and it sucked badly for photos, and then they took away the photo syncing that was extremely useful even if it did not work half of the time. And now they continue making crappier and crappier the photo library functionality. It is like they do not understand their customers.
With a NAS there are better alternatives now to upload photos, in a folder that the Plex library can track.
Meanwhile I do agree that improving the photo library view is most than desired. Personally I would appreciate an experience as in Apple Photos, without the need to pay for the cloud storage.
