Hello Martin.
What I would really like to do (apart from give up!) is to be able to show pictures in one specific folder on the PC. When using Windows Media player (WMP)as the DLNA (whatever that means)the Humax tries to show ALL the pictures on my PC after a long time thinking. I can’t seem to get WMP or Playmemories to set up the single folder.
regards
Dale
What format are the photos in and what’s the pixel dimensions ?
If you copy some to a usb stick/hard drive will the box display them ?
The formats are all *.jpg and typically 3264×2448 pixels. If the files are copied to a stick or external hard drive they display without problem.
Should work. In playmemories Tools – Settings – Add Folder
Navigate to the folder if not ticked toggle a tick. The contents should now appear.
I use playmemories because it’s the only way to import long HD takes split into multifiles by my Sony camcorder (FAT32 FS restrictions) without losing audio at the split points.
Many thanks Graham
that worked, as soon as my wife stops watching Pointless, I’ll try it out!!
regards

Deselect any folders you don’t want to see remotely.
Consider using video editor/slide show software to create HD movie slide shows in 16:9 format. You can add all sorts of fancy transitions and sync to backing music. Impress/bore your friends and family no end. 👿

Graham and everyone who have responded,
many thanks for your advice.
I’ve managed to get photos accessed by the box from my laptop and also videos (once I’ve used a format that it understands). If I give it a list of photos it takes a long time to process through them then gives up!, but I expect it’s because they are about 3.5Mb each in size, so I shall have to cut them down a bit.
Still, I shall now have plenty to keep me occupied in the coming winter days!
Regards to all
Dale
Add your photos to a video editor (Windows Movie Maker Will Do). Output at 1920 x 1080 16:9 to a MP4 file. Play back the video, it’s a lot less hassle than individually playing with each jpeg.

Thanks Graham.
I tried what you suggested, but the box responded with can’t play the MP4 format file.

What software did you use ?
Try opening output file in TSMUXERGUI and remux to a .ts container.

Can you use MediaInfo to check what the file contains (select treeview) and export the details to a text file and post the results.

EUREKA!!
It’s all worked perfectly by converting to a TS file.
Thanks again Graham.
