Describe what problem this solves and why this would be valuable to many users

I would like to explore location of a particular photo/video
I would like to be able to play videos "smoothier"

Describe the solution you'd like

Add optional right bar where photo details can be viewed (similar to google photos). Screen is below
Once I flip through photos/videos I would like just press button on video preview and play it.

Sreens:

Right bar with photo details example from google photos:

I would be happy to see such in Photoprism
"Problem" with video preview.

How it works in photoprism now
step 1:

step2:
new window appears

and if i press "left" or "right" nothing will happen.

I would like to make it similar to google photos, where video is inlined and i can press left/right button to jump to the next/previous media file

Generally, seems yes . But probably we can save some details such as 'show photo location' in the preview
