sfatula 185 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Wondering if I can get all the Mac Photos and albums into Emby? If so, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hi, are the photos on your Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfatula 185 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yes, they are, in the Photos app on the Mac. Thousands of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundevil67 21 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 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.

Luke 37049 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Why not just add the osx photo album folder to emby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundevil67 21 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 As far as I know, "Smart" albums aren't actually stored as folders anywhere on my HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Where are the actual photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundevil67 21 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 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.

Luke 37049 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Right, so it sounds like some kind of custom support would be needed for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
