Image upload button disappeared

[Mac666 2]

Hi,

After I update my Emby iOS app last week the plus button on “edit image” screen disappeared. 
 

Would it be possible to recover this?

Hi, what version number do you have installed? Try tapping and holding on those tiles to see a menu for them.

Hi Luke,

the app version is 2.2.4 and my iOS version is 15.6.1 on iPhone SE.

I have tried to press and hold the tile, it just only showed me “Add Image from URL” and not gave me an option to upload from my image stored in iPhone.

OK we'll take a look at it. Workaround in the meantime is to use the web app. Thanks,.

HI, Emby for iOS 2.2.6 has been released. Please try it out and let us know how it compares. Thanks !

Hi 

Sorry for late reply. I installed 2.2.7 but the problem still remains. I’m not iOS developer but I’m guessing the cause of this has something to do with access permissions for Photo app from Emby client app. My observation is that, other iOS app that requires access to Photo app (such as Slack in my case), has clearly access control if I can grant the specific app access to Photo app. Emby app, at least in my iPhonec has no toggle button to grant to touch my Photo. Does it indicate there’s missing permissions control on Emby app?

Hi, it seems to be there for me. Where are you looking for it?

[Mac666 2]

Yes, if you look at 

Settings -> Emby 

There’s no Photo app in the list.

As an example for working case, Slack has Photo app to grant Slack access Photo app.

That's not going to impact whether or not the button shows up in the app. Where are you looking for it in the app?

Same as I posted months ago.

1. Choose video and long press on the item.

2. Edit Image

3. Long press “Primary” and it shows no option to choose from local Photo app. Just shows only external URL.

Well that's strange. I would try again with the next update to the app. Thanks.

Not seeing one in 2.2.8 but don't know if there ever was one.

[Luke 42077]

Strange. We'll take a look. Thanks.

Hi Luke,

My apologize for waking kind a old post. I've been keeping up with the latest iOS app, installing the latest version, 2.2.17, however the problem still remains. 
I would appreciate if you take a look on this if you have a capacity.....

Still don't see it in 2.2.18 either.

[Luke 42077]

It's because fileupload isn't implemented in the native app yet. We can look at that, but for now you'll need to do it in the web app. Thanks.
