Hi
Sorry if I'm missing the obvious but how do I get a slideshow from a folder on the PC running on the TV. I have looked around before posting this but apart from a web based Piccasa plugin I can't see it.
And I'm a PC user not a techy- obviously

Are you using DivX Connected?

Do you have a DSM-330 device connected to your TV?

Or have you downloaded the DivX Connected software on your PC?

If you have added the folder and the it shows up on the TV, just go into the folder and then press the 'menu' button on the remote and select "Play All".

You can also just select an individual image an press the "Enter" button, and once it is displaying a photo, press the Up or Down arrow to start a slide show from that point on.

My Pictures

Thanks, much appreciated, I had an idea it would be something embarrassingly obvious. I'd found the single picture 'enter' bit and not looked carefully enough beyond. Plus I've just started needing reading glasses and I'm still in denial and that 'menu' button is tiny.

These things are not that obvious until after you know them

Refer to the remote reference guide for more tips that will help you get the most out of Connected.

The 'menu' button is one that you will want to press in any situation where you want to do something, but are not sure how. It will likely provide the option you are looking for. With each new server release, there is usually some new features added that expands its use.

Also, the 'Enter' button and arrow buttons and number buttons usually provide some helpful features depending on the what you are viewing.
