Hello, I have had The Frame in my living room for a little while now, and I have found that the slideshow desperately needs the following features:
Randomize the Slideshow Sequence - When showing a collection, the sequence always starts at the beginning of the collection. We need to be able to randomize the order in which the art is being shown so that it doesn't always start with the same thing.
Skip to the next picture - During the Slideshow, the ability to skip to the previous or next picture would be highly useful. We should be able to use the currently unassigned Left or Right arrow buttons to do this. Sometimes when viewing, .e.g a curated collection, something will come that is undesireable, or sometimes it can even scary for my children! When this happens, my only recourse is to start the collection over again from the first slide.
Set a default mode for the Mat. I don't like the virtual frames that get put around the pictures. In some cases it looks ridiculous and totally unconvincing. I would like to default the Mat to only fill the whole frame, no digital whitespace around it. Having to set this on a picture by picture basis is not good. If the picture cannot fill the frame, then I do not want to show it.
I'm not sure what being logged in or not has to do with the issue. There is a movement detection feature in the TV. If there is no activity in the room the screen shuts down, then comes to life again when activity is detected. Always begins the "slideshow" with the first picture. To get to the second picture you'd have to hire a kid to do jumping jacks for 10 minutes in front of the screen.
MIne do not turn back on again. when I turn the lights off the screens go off, and when I move or turn the lights back on they do not come back on. There is also no feature on the 32" version to control the sensitivity of the sensor. When I manually switch them back on the do not always revert to the art work they either switch to TV mode or to the setup membership screen for artwork. I have done firmware updates on all 3 to the latest version available. These things are good but not really what I expected after watching enough youtube videos before purchasing.
We are waiting for one of the posters to come back to us with details of some tests he was carrying out. I am sure Samsung don’t mind. It’s not like they provided a solution to this problem then or now.
since I have turned off sleep mode/Movement detection I stay logged in and the Slide Show works.
I don´t know if the same issue is with night mode but I guess everything that turns off the TV logs you out and you have to log in to your Samsung account again to have all features working !!!
