heula 189 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) If possible I would like to see some improvements for viewing photo's with Emby. I have given all my photos certain tags so I can easily find what I'm looking for. In the Emby metadata manager I see those tags are available but in the Emby app it doesn't do anything with that info for as far as I have seen. - Add a tag search option - Add a sort on tag option - Add an option to display those tags while the photos are displayed - Add an option to set the time in seconds a photo is being displayed in a slideshow - Add an option to display where images are taken - Add an option to get places where images are taken, people, things etc. as collection? (like Google photos does) Thanks Edited January 3, 2019 by heula 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula 189 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 When I open Emby on Google Chrome on my pc and go to my photos I see a play button on the folder I want to view. Hitting that button starts the slideshow, In Emby for Android and IOS that option is not available. I would like to have that option there as well. Thanks.

Luke 37053 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yes there are great ideas here. I think what will probably come first is tags (via generic handling), and more control over the photo slideshow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to have those tags in Kodi where I use the Emby addon to view the images. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 We already support reading photo tags, and you can already tag photos. Does that answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula 189 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 We already support reading photo tags, and you can already tag photos. Does that answer your question? Okay, didn't know that. I do not see my photo tags in Kodi. Is that not possible yet. I tried to search for an option to search photo's based on tags but did not find that yet. Perhaps that @@Angelblue05 can answer that. I did take a look at my photos in Emby but I don't see my tags there. I can set to see year and title but no tags. I would like the tags to show up at the bottum of the photo when viewing in a slideshow or just scrolling through them. In Kodi I have a screensaver that does that but it can't do that for scrolling through them. It is just a screensaver and nothing more. That is why I hoped Emby could do this.

heula 189 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) I know that the metadata manager used to see the photo tags that are in them but now all the labels of my photos are empty in Emby. I have added those tags with Picasa. These tags are well seen when I upload to Flickr. Edited July 17, 2019 by heula 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can you try refreshing metadata on the photo folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula 189 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can you try refreshing metadata on the photo folder? That did not help. Labels are still empty on the folder I refreshed. A single photo refresh did also nothing. embyserver.txt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heula 189 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 We're looking for exif keywords. is that what your labels are? Yes they are in the Exif data imported by the picasa app from Google.

heula 189 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) The tag issue is solved now I see. Still it is not usable in Kodi and Emby on Shield TV. In Emby on Windows I can select the tags / labels by selecting a filter. I really like an option in Emby and Kodi named tags or labels and when selected it shows a list with all available tags/labels that are present. The filter dropdown menu now in Kodi is not handy and slow. It will make searching for certain kind of photos so much easier. Thanks.

gcoupe 63 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We're looking for exif keywords. is that what your labels are? Just noticed this comment. I really hope that you are looking at more than just Exif metadata in photos. That class of metadata is supposed to be used for just technical information on a photo (e.g. what camera was used, the ISO setting, shutter speed, date taken etc.). It is not supposed to be used for tags that describe what the photo is about. For that, you should be looking at XMP-based metadata, such as IPTC-Core. See here for a good description of the industry standards for photo metadata. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37053 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If you have a some good photo files for testing that contain a range of iptc/exif/xmp metadata, then please zip them up and attach them here and I'll make sure Emby Server supports reading all of the embedded information.
