Media Player images not displaying properly

The Media Player app is not displaying most of my images properly.

First of all, vertical images are zoomed in by default and there is no way to zoom out or even pan, to display the whole picture.

Second of all, horizontal pictures are cropped on the sides, and black bars are displaying instead (the pictures are 16:9 but it doesn't display the whole picture). Zooming and panning are working properly, but still there is no way of displaying the whole
picture at all.

This issue is especially annoying since one of the main purposes is to play all kind of media with this app but this is completely ruining the experience. If I want to gather some people around TV and show them some pictures it basically doesn't make sense.

What's even worse is that some of them come from Lumia phone which is supposed to by compatible device running different version of the same software!

Side note: the same pictures are displayed properly if uploaded to OneDrive and accessed from there. Still, that doesn't solve the problem really.

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

 

Im having the same issue as well and then on top of it, my media player stopped working all together.

Uninstalled it, to do a reinstall and now the market place is saying its unavailable. You guys at microsoft really need to get this fixed asap.

 

I'm having the same issue with viewing pictures.

Please fix this Microsoft !
