Media Player almost unusable on folders with lots of images

This is about the public released version of the Media Player app.

My camera groups photos in folders, 1000 photos each.

The problem is if you try to visualize photos towards the end of the list (e.g. 900th or so):

- First of all, scrolling all the way to 900th image is a pain; I found some way to page down using the trigger, but that seemed to jump back and forth, so it keeps me at the same position. So the only way I found is to use the left joystick which takes
forever

- 2nd of all, once you reach there, you need to wait forever until thumbnails start being loaded; it took me several attempts, couple of times the app crashed after waiting for 10-15 minutes; it looks like the app is still loading earlier images when it
should load the images that are being displayed on the screen; the fact that photos are pretty large could also aggravate the problem as loading each photo takes a few seconds.

Also, is there any way to disable the animations when I choose play all? I understand that some people like seeing stuff moving on their screens, but for me that feels annoying. Plus that my photos are already 16x9, I don't need the app to zoom portions
of them so that it moves them. I just want to see the full image with no movement.

Thanks,

Adrian

Xbox one media player after update

Has anyone else noticed that since the update the media player displays folders on USB HDD differently? I have a HDD plugged in with my downloaded TV shows on it. The individual episodes are in folders for each season, and the seasons are grouped in folders
titled with the series name. Previously all the folders were folder icons, and the individual episodes were still images of the opening scene of the show. Now when I go into my HDD, only the first 2 folders are displayed as folders, with the rest of them displayed
as cheap, low res "file" images, like a word document. This makes it very difficulty to read the titles of the folders since the font is white, and the file image is white. I don't know what they broke with this update, but it looks terrible. I was hoping
they would add the ability to add cover art for the folders, and when I saw this new change I thought that was what had happened. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. Am I the only one with this issue? I have seen others posting about the xbox
no longer reading their media files, but have not seen anything posted about this.

 

Large filesize photos displayed in Media Player are only fuzzy previews

When I try and view some of my photos in the Media Player app, it's only displaying fuzzy, previews of the images, not the clear, full version.

This seems to be happening to all the pictures I have in all folders which have a filesize of over 2-3Mb. Any small images (e.g. a few 100Kb) get displayed correctly.

The photos are saved on a Synology DS212J on my local network. I'm sure it used to briefly show the fuzzy preview whilst it streamed the full version of the file in the background, but now the proper version of the file never gets displayed.

Does anyone else have this issue displaying largish images clearly in Media Player and is there a fix?

Thanks
