tp546 39 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I thought I remembered seeing a plugin a while back to view photos in MBC but I can't seem to find it - can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BATTLE DONKEY 98 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Its built into the server now, just create a new category and point it to ur pictures and set it as photos the same way u did for movies, TV shows, music, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp546 39 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 do I need to separate my pictures from my videos? right now they are mixed so hoping the answer is no, but i don't see the pictures when i navigate to those folders in MBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBzeer 6 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I imagine you'll have to separate them, since they are totally different file formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 No, you can have videos in with your pictures. What version of everything do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp546 39 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 No. Change it to Photos. Even if it also contains videos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp546 39 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 No, you can have videos in with your pictures. What version of everything do you have? Server is 3.0.5366.22005 MBC is 3.0.213.0 Do I need to do something else to enable them for viewing? They don't show up in the web client either.

ebr 14910 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 If they aren't in the web client then they aren't setup properly. You'll need to provide some more details about exactly how you have them configured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14910 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The only way you'll see photos is with a Photo folder type because all images are treated as metadata otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, that's not likely to find any photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37053 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 There is no magic mixed folder type. Just mixed movies and tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp546 39 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah, that's not likely to find any photos... Okay so change it to mixed content and it should work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaN 47 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Is there any particular setup for photos folder? I'm facing a problem with server version 3.0.5366.22005 where some old photo collections were scanned and showing properly; while newer collections were scanned but now showing at all; I only get a blank thumbnail, and it doesn't show in other clients such as android and MBC.

tp546 39 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 The only way you'll see photos is with a Photo folder type because all images are treated as metadata otherwise. okay so i re-added it to my library with photos as the type and i get the same results - any idea why? do the photos have to be organized in a specific way or something?

ebr 14910 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You'll need to give us more information like screenshots of how you set it up and a log of a scan. Otherwise we are just stabbing in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaN 47 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I have disabled and re-enabled this option "lock this item to prevent future changes", clicked on refresh this item, and my new photo folder was scanned, and thumbnails showed the photos.

DaN 47 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) sorry for the quick update, but here's the details: I just noticed that some folders in my photo collection (which is of Photos type) are not showing the photos; thumbnails are blank, and other clients such as MBC and android are not displaying these photos I noticed that; option Lock this item to prevent future changes was enabled; I just disabled it and clicked on Refresh button; then photos displayed properly; I copied the lines before and after that change; my question is how locking the metadata refresh affects the "photo scanner" job? 2014-10-02 01:04:48.8201 Error - App: Error in GameResolver resolving \\WORLDISKSTATION\Disk\Family Photos\2014\Family Day\0335.jpg Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
