Any integration with Mac Photos app?

Wondering if I can get all the Mac Photos and albums into Emby? If so, how?

Hi, are the photos on your Mac?

[sfatula 194]

Yes, they are, in the Photos app on the Mac. Thousands of them.

Ok, are you able to locate the folder that they're stored in on your Mac? Then you can add that to Emby like any other photos folder. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks !

I think what the OP meant here is what I'm discovering to be my biggest issue with Emby right now...the ability to synchronize the albums within OSX Photos albums with the directories I'm using for my Emby libraries. I'm exploring a way to accomplish this with OSX's Automator, but I'm a rookie with that thing & am wishing there was some kind of plugin or tool to accomplish this really badly needed function.

Why not just add the osx photo album folder to emby?

[sundevil67 26]

As far as I know, "Smart" albums aren't actually stored as folders anywhere on my HD.

[Luke 40082]

Where are the actual photos?

[sundevil67 26]

They are actually grouped with Smart Albums which points to a directory structure inside the Photos.app file...but the path is very convoluted and includes structures I need to strip out. I found a Mac App called Oktoid Photo Sync that should be able to do it - but I can't seem to get it configured properly. I know I can accomplish the entire task using Mac OS Automator and/or Applescript, but I can't seem to find one that's close enough to modify for my purposes.

Right, so it sounds like some kind of custom support would be needed for this.
