Hi,
Here goes, would be greatly appreciative to anyone who can help with this. I will try to include everything I think is relevant to the issue.
Hardware
NAS - Buffalo Linkstation pro duo 4 TB
TV - Samsung UE40D5520
Camera – Canon EOS 1100d
I download my camera to my NAS wirelessly which is wired to my TV and have enjoyed looking at the photo’s on the big screen. However, about 6 months ago (no software updates on any of the devices that I’m aware of) any photo’s I download (always done it the same way) have been coming up on the TV in a tiny thumbnails which is barely visible. Here is what I know
I can see the photo’s fine from my NAS on my computer
I can see the photo’s fine when I attach the camera directly to the TV
Another camera I have is also fine when I download to the TV.
Confused, anyone have any ideas? From the above I can’t figure out which one is to blame.
Cheers
Chris
Yes, this is an issue with the media server, if the photos are larger than 4MB then they are displayed as a thumbnail size.
Hi thanks for your response, can I change this somehow?
Hi
I have exactly the same problem displaying full size photos off my Buffalo Linkstation Duo NAS server.
Updated Linkstation LS-WXLB9E to firmware 1.6, the latest
Updated Linkstation DNLA Server to latest
WD TV Live. Firmware 1.12.14 the latest
Video ok
Music ok
Photos come up on the WD TV Live as thumbnails. NOT their full size
I have other DNLA clients that all display photos off the server correctly...........
IPad displays photos correctly
IPhone ok
Nokia E 72 OK
CAN I INSTALL AN UPDATED TWONKY SERVER ON THE LINKSTATION lAS THIS APPEARS TO BE THE PROBLEM?
Any help would be appreciated.
