Is adding a photo gallery to channels on the roadmap?
Channels dvr has almost replaced everything i used plex for. The only feature it has not replaced is being my photo gallery and music player. I don't really listen to my offline music anymore. I switched to spotify.
But I miss having photo gallery.
A photo gallery does not sound like a feature of a Live TV / DVR app. Plex took the "kitchen sink" approach and tries to squeeze everything into one place, and hence does an OK job. Channels focuses on a few features, and does them REALLY well.
I agree. Channels does what it does super good. It's why i pay my $8/mo (i think it is worth more, at least $12/mo).
I don't want channels to be as bloated as plex. But figured i would ask. You never know.
However i never viewed channels as a "TV" app. I always seen it as a content aggregation tool that just happened to focus on tv. Bringing together my offline media library, internet tv, antenna, as well as connecting to my NAS for unlimated storage.
Even if this is not on roadmap. Im still a channels lover. Online tv sucks donkey balls because they use cloud dvr.
Ha! 
It's not a bad idea if channels is looking to be your main media app for home use. They have tv/dvr, added access to your tv shows & movies so it makes sense to have access to photos/videos. I've only been with channels since Feb of this year but I see how they are continuing to grow the app. Great job by the developers.
