Do not show the (very) small pictures
The frame show also the very very small picture. They are so small that it is useless to show them. It would be great to be able to configure a requirement for the size of the pictures to be shown.
Thanks3 votesHello,
It is really totally impossible to implement this for DLNA, there is a technical limitation and we can’t do it.
Sorry about this.

Optional up-scaling of small images
I show Instagram images on the frame that are mostly 800x800 at the moment. This are slightly less than the device resolution, so I got a black frame around images.
This is also essential for gif animations, as they are usually quite small and take about 20-30% of the screen space.
Is there any chance you can add an upscale option, so more screen space is used?
0 votesHello,
we wil implement a mode
Fit to screen (keep ratio)
which will apply only if the picture is not really small, meaning that the condition will be something like maximum different with the screen less than 30%, otherwise more than that it will be really look too pixelated till not acceptable.

SAMBA Client
The frame already has a SAMBA server, so why not enable the SAMBA client so it could connect to a shared folder on a NAS drive to pull photos from. NAS and home storage is very popular (the main reason I purchased Pix-Star over Nixplay was DLNA support)
3 votesHello,
We have now (august 2015) a new version that implants this idea, please contact us by email at " info@pix-star.com " so that we can give it to u.

Display more than one Pix-Star Albums in the Pix-star frame
I would like to be able to define several smaller albums and then send two or more of them to the frame. As for now i have to merge the wanted albums into a "to be displayed" album and then send it to the frame.
1 voteHello,
This is already possible from inside the frame user interface.
Go to " my web album pictures" and inside go to your provider name ten you can select which album(s) to play.
this is not possible remotely from the web site for technical reasons.

Publish a suggested list of RSS Photo Feeds
I'm running out of pictures to display on my frame, which sits on my desk at work (so it's looked at all day, every day). I have the time set to 1 minute to space them out. Can you publish a list of suggested RSS photo feed URL's so we can easily add some stock images to the frame? I've had a hard time finding these on my own.
4 votesHello,
If you have problems adding RSS feed to the frame check our knowledge base there is an article about the RSS feed and the format structure to follow.
Or contact our customer support by email we will help you.

Allow web albums to be sent to the frame for offline use
Please add a way to send albums (or selected images in a web album) to the frame for offline use.
Alternatively, add a new album type to the web page, Frame Album, that is automatically copied to the frame, much like the e-mail inbox.
1 voteHello,
It is already like this.
All web albums are completely downloaded to the frame’s local memory and stay inside the memory so that even without Wi-Fi you can play them.
It is NOT streaming.

iCloud
Allow uploads from the Apple iCloud service (that is what one of my kids uses to save all of his photos).
1 voteHello,
iCloud is a service from Apple and only for Apple. It is not open to 3rd parties. So none except Apple can access to this service to build new application. For this reason it is not possible for u stop import pictures from iCloud to the frame and no one except Apple is able to do so.
The might change in the future so we will follow up on this closely but on the short term there is no solution.

User interface needs a key/legend
The page where I can view my photo Inbox has a green light besides some photos and a red light besides others. I have no idea what this means. Thanks!
1 voteHello,
If you gently put the mouse on the little red or green dot (without clicking on it) you get a pop up window showing up with the relevant detailed explanation of the meaning of the red and green dot.
