Stream photos on Roku Emby channel

[scwildman 0]

Is there a Play All option on the Roku Emby channel similar to the the option on the browser? I can pull up individual photos and scroll through them with the remote, but I cannot find how to display photos in some sort of slide show.

Thanks

Hi.  Hit the "play" button on your Roku remote when any one of those pictures is in focus and a slide show from that photo on will start.

@scwildman has this helped?

It does answer my question - thanks for that!.  Follow-up question - is there any option to have it scan across folders? I've got photos organized by year or event and the play feature only seems to play within the one folder.

 

Thanks again.

Hi.  No, it will only play the contents of the folder you are in at the time.

Hello. Hope you are well. The differences in the settings and tools between computer UI, mobile UI and smart tv UI are really striking. Since OVERVIEW metadata can be read by Emby for photos and one can only choose to view photo OVERVIEW when using the computer UI and mobile UI, but never viewable in slideshow mode, can't we at the very least have the option to show OVERVIEW with the photo thumbnail views so the user can see the details about the photo using the SHOW FIELDS 3-dot options? Additionally, why are GENRES and TAGS completely eliminated in the smart tv UI?  REQUEST: Please add OVERVIEW to the SHOW FIELDS 3-dot options. Thank you.

Since this is a 2 year old thread you would be better off starting a new one as things have changed a LOT in the last 2 years.
