    xbox one media player photo slideshow


    I am trying to play a slideshow on my xbox One using pictures on my external hard drive. I have them all in one folder, and I have the hard drive connected properly. It plays all of the photos, however, it zooms in and out too much on each one. So instead
    of seeing the whole subject, you can only see a mustache, or one eye, or the trees behind the subject for example. If I choose the photo singularly, it does not do this (though, it still does not show the whole photo if the size of the photo is not the a
    basic 4x6 or 5x7). Is there a way to change the settings of the slideshow?

    :)

    How to view slideshow from media player of network files without cropping each photo - HELP!

    HELLO - should be simple but I can find nothing on the internet. I have my Xbox One S networked. Through media player I can see and play most media files that are on my computer via my XBOX to my large screen TV (standard Microsoft network file sharing
    protocol). It's a very nice feature, but...

    PROBLEM - the default display format of the Microsoft media player app is to do transitions from picture to picture by moving them around the screen, zoomed out then zooming in on each picture. It's one of many ways to build cute transitions from photo
    to photo. Unfortunately the default programming is to significantly crop each file as it allows the onscreen movement. I HATE THAT. I take well planned photos and I want to view all the beauty of each photo vs. cropped pictures. I can't find any settings
    options for the media player.

    I then downloaded and tried to view via the Photos app - but it can't see my network files (argh!). HELP!!!

    Does anyone know how to change the transition method that is burned into the slideshow function of the app

    OR

    Know a different app that will view my network files and allow me to do a slideshow of them without modifying the appearance of each photo?

    THANKS!

    How to view slideshow from media player of network files without cropping each photo - HELP!

    thanks ChiefJoboo - unfortunately VLC does not allow me to view photos.

    So far, I've tried several MS apps (Photos, Media Player, other apps to build a slideshow, etc.). I need to do all three of the following:

    + View my network files or the files I copied on a USB thumb drive and inserted in the machine, AND

    + arrange all the photos into a slide show, AND

    + NOT crop the photos in the process.

    Of all the apps, they can do 1 or 2 of the above attributes, but NOT all three!!!

    I'm now resorting to simply making my own video slideshow the good old fashioned manual way (using PowerDirector). I'll then hopefully be able to view that video file via my network.

    If anyone else has a simple solution so going forward I don't have to make videos of my photos (individually organized into their own folders) each time, that would be appreciated!

    Picture streaming?

    Most likely one of two things

    A) You did not allow your XBOX to stream photo's from your PC on your computer itself

    Open "My Computer", then on the left side, select "Network", wait for it all to load. Under Media Devices, you will see "XBOX 360", right click that and select "Media Streaming Options". On the next screen you should see a "Customize" button next to the
    XBOX 360, select that and confirm that its allowing photo's to be streamed. Also make sure you have added the photo's to Windows Media Player's Library (WMP -> Organize -> Manage Libraries -> Pictures)

    B) The photos are not in a format the XBOX supports
