Your photos, videos and NAS. One library, four ways to watch. Open your own media from Photos, authorized folders or an SMB / WebDAV NAS. Find content in Library and resume where you left off. FOUR VIEWING MODES Classic gives you full playback controls. Living Room Frame puts family photos first. Travel Replay revisits journeys by year with a shuffled queue. Editor Review uses a filmstrip to switch between media, inspect file information and rate photos. A CLEARER LIBRARY Browse collections with compact controls and clear loading states. Search filenames, sort by name, date or size, filter photos and videos, and return to favorites, playlists and viewing history. MORE CONTROL WHILE WATCHING Browse photos and videos together. Adjust fit or fill, playback speed, audio tracks, subtitles and the sleep timer. Apply zoom, rotation and mirroring directly from the player.
