TWONKYIf your photos aren't shown in correct resolution through Twonky then you can try the below mentioned change.
1. Navigate on your PC or NAS to locate the clients.db file. In Windows PC you can find it here: C:\Program Files\TwonkyMedia\resources\clients.db
2. Before editing the original file make a copy of that clients.db file and store it outside of the TwonkyMedia folder.
3. Open the clients.db file using notepad or text editor. ( You might have to rename clients.db file to clients.txt file ).
4. Search for "WD ". (If you are using any other device/player then look for the device entry according to the profile selected as Media receiver type for that device.)
5. Edit the line that begins with "TR:" so that "JPEG 160x160" is changed to "JPEG_HD".
NA:WD TV HD Live Media Player
DD:WD TV HD Live
XM:DLNA15
XM:TV4IDS
DB:FIX
XM:NOEMBEDDEDALBUMART
TR:JPEG160x160,JPEG1920x1080
Modify this line as:-
TR:JPEG_HD, JPEG1920x1080
DF:devicedescription-wd-live.xml
This is an example for WD TV live, similarly we can edit the client.db file for other media receiver types.

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
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.

I have solved my problem and all is working perfectly Without having to root or edit client.db.
Communicated with the Twonky Server on my Linkstation
by http://192.168.0.2:9050. ( you need your Linkstations IP address
went to Advanced Settings. .......
Media Receivers
forced the device selected for my WD Live TV ( identified by its MAC and IP Adress) in the table to WD LIVE TV from the drop down list.
Saved the new table
Restarted NAS
All working I.e. all pictures shown at their full resolution.
