Hello all, hopefully someone can help me...

 

I run a prem version of Emby, and have been for a number of years now, and its been working great.

Now, I wanted to setup all my "Family photos and videos"  (Displayed Name) up on it, so I setup a library Content tried both "Mixed" and "Home Videos & Photos", setup a folder on the HDD - all good so far...

under the folder I have a lot of sub  (for each year) folders that have photos and video in the same folder, but if you try and view them through a browser it shows all the sub folders, and you can go into them, but it only shows the movies, no photos...???  

 

Help...

Did you enable photos in the library settings?  It's off by default.  Then you will have to rescan media again to get your photos in folders

Thanks for the quick reply, yes I have that ticked... from what I can see the problems might be because I have folders within folders (sometimes 3 deep)

I have rescanned multiple times, but still no luck..

my directory structure is like below :-

and each directory may have videos and photos together in the same folder...

 

m:\Photos

m:\photos\logans photos

m:\photos\logans photos\scouts

m:\photos\logans photos\taekwondo

m:\photo\logans photos\rugby

As far as levels go my structure is as follows:

\Home videos and photos\Year\Event or location\*.jpg

I'm able to see both video and photos in the folders view using that structure.  I'm not sure how deep you can go, but it would appear you're fine.

Library type "Home videos and photos" and folder structure as follows:

Everything is on my NAS.  MyEmbyMedia is the shared folder with all my library folders (Movies, TV Shows, etc) underneath.

this is how I set it up in Emby for "Home videos & photos",   "m:" is a local drive, and not a network drive, not sure if that matters..
