Dear Plex Pros
I’ve got a simple environment running a Synology NAS, with the actual Plex Server up and running, indexing some 250k photos. On the Client-side, an Apple TV 4 Box is installed with which i want to access the photos on my NAS and play slideshows. Is this a feature that must work with the actual versions installed?
My tests shows following results:
The Apple TV 4 Plex Client isn’t able to play slideshows. It doesn’t load next picture automatically. If i select a folder with photo…
Numerous duplicate feature requests:
A really helpful new feature that would make many users happy would be a a Plex Slideshow app (for android and iOS) or integration into the native Plex App so users can have a tablet set aside as a digital picture frame that would circulate all random pictures or certain selected files/photos. This functionality would be really nice as also a rotating slideshow live background or screensaver for a tablet or mac/pc as well and could be integrated into a the Plex app. The Digital photo frame featu…
To be able to play a slideshow of photos library in the Apple TV Plex Client. It’s currently not possible, you have to move forward to next photo one by one.

Select transition type
Include videos playing in photo library

Hi,
I like almost every aspect of Plex, but the Photo Slideshow is really miserable. Please add ken burns with transitions and music.

Fade Music from Playlist in and out during Photo Slideshow
Quick feature request to add the ability to add photograph slideshows to client apps, and for them to support a few different transitions from one photograph to another together with a variable delay. Suggested transitions could be fade-in/fade-out, Ken Burns effect, page turn simulations, slide-in or out from one side of the screen. These are for single photo to single photo only transitions, nothing overly complex.
Unless I’m missing something, I don’t see any way to show a photo slideshow in the Apple TV 4 app. Hopefully others think this would be a good feature and shouldn’t be too difficult to implement.
Please add a slideshow feature for photos on ios plex app.
