View Photo's (Pictures) on TV - normanw18 - 2014-08-30
Hi Everyone. I am a total newbie to XBMC and I am having difficulty displaying my photo's, from my PC hard drive, on my TV. I Enabled UPnP in XMBC (v13.2) and that allowed me to setup a scraper for video and music, which both display one my Samsung UN40D500 TV (which is connected via an Ethernet cable). I added my photo's under Pictures but there is no scraper for Pictures (Photo's) and I cannot figure out how to view the Photo's on the TV. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Many thanks
Norman

The wiki doesn't list upnp as a supported source for pictures

Thanks nickr. Simple and to the point. Again thank you.

I think that earlier post was from my tablet, where it is harder to type. I suggest adding the pictures via windows networking (SMB).
Share the relevant folder on the server, then add on the XBMC machine.
