Access to photos - camodue - 2024-06-22
I'm building out my jellyfin instance around my home automation system Home Assistant. One area of interest is access to photos/home videos as oldskool photo albums are a thing of the past and so presenting these via the beautiful Jellyfin platform would be great. I'm on Android using Google Photos but they're a similar platform for iOS obviously. Is there any way to access photos / videos:
1) that live on Google Photos from Jellyfin
2) From a local copy (accessible via the LAN) of selected photos / videos (no idea how I'd sync that to the LAN) but that's probably another discussion

Jellyfin of course needs access to that folder.

You should also check out Immich. It is a self-hosted photo platform similar to Google Photos.

Ok that may make sense. I assume given it's self hosted I have access to the images on the LAN and hence it should be available to Jellyfin. Will look into that
