'Home videos and photos' transition feature between photo and video


Recommended Posts

Posted

I will buy Emby premier immediately if this simple feature gets in and works well because Plex currently has a massive problem with this.

I got really excited when I saw the 'Home video and photo' option for a library because this is the main use that I want to use.  A folder with videos AND photos in it seems to blow Plex's mind.

Everything generally works well here but this example I don't get why it won't work

Let's say the file type order goes photo 1, photo 2, video 1, video 2, photo 3

I can correctly hit a 'next' button to go from photo 1 to photo 2 and i can go from photo 2 to video 1 just fine.  But from video 1 there is no easy way to transition to video 2 .  All that needs to be added is a next button just like there already is for photo 1 to photo 2! 

If this could be added would be amazing.  Happy to explain more please let me know

Hi, yes this is something that we are working on improving. Currently the photo player and video players are two different things, so the more we can unify them the more this will improve. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you so much for the quick response!  I will be eagerly waiting.  Would you all post in your release notes when that has been updated?  If there are also ways for people to beta test it please let me know as well.  Since this is my main goal to have I'd be happy to share beta feedback

One more thing I noticed when using Amazon Fire stick is that videos from a phone do not display horizontally.  Is there a way to swap the video so it'd be full screen for a TV?  If not that would be another awesome feature to add for this library type
