If you are streaming pictures from a Synology NAS using UPnP\/DLNA it may happen that your pictures look too small on the frame or have black strips around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a configuration issue with your Sinology NAS so please follow the steps below to solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- Before all make sure you are running the latest software version inside this NAS<\/strong>. Log into the Sinology NAS configuration panel and double check if any software update is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If needed apply software update first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- To solve the problem of pictures showing too small on the frame you MUST disable the thumbnail.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So go to “browsing settings” then UN-CHECK the ” transmit low resolution ….” see picture below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- ONCE DONE it is VERY IMPORTANT to FORCE the re-indexing of all the pictures.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the \u201cGeneral Settings\u201d tab, there\u2019s a link to \u201cMedia Indexing\u201d (it\u2019s also accessible from the Control Panel screen) which gets you to this screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After \u201cRe-index\u201d is hit just wait, this may take quite a long time (several hours … ) if you have a lot of pictures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So don’t worry just be patient!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once re-indexed your pictures will look much bigger on the frame…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy your Pix-Star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
