Support Web Albums from Tinybeans.com
We use tinybeans app/tinybeans.com to share our child's photos. Would love to have this supported.
3 votesHello,
We are very sorry but this web site does not provide what we call an “API” for 3rd parties like us to connect to and access your pictures stored there. Unless they implement such API in the future we can’t add this to the lis tof supported external picture storage partners.

force sync or sync now option
It'd be great if there was a force sync or sync now option on the frame menu or via the web.
I noted that periodically the frame will indicate % of photos synced, but the more pictures you add, the longer the sync appears to occur.

New motion sensor setting - Auto off from inactivity without Auto on
I would like to turn it on manually, enjoy it for the amount of time I am in front of it, and when I walk away for a specified amount of time it turns off. But later if I simply want to walk past, it doesn't turn on needlessly.

Move pictures
It would be nice to be able to move pictures rather than copy and then delete them
3 votesWe decided not to implement such feature to avoid that people move them by mistake. We prefer this is done in 2 steps so that it is safer for the user that made a mistake when copying and did not want to copy.

Pause an album
It would be helpful if I could select an album or albums to display. As it is now, the only way to get web albums to stop displaying is to delete them. I'd like to be able to "pause" them.

Eliminate duplication of photos
Is there a feature that can eliminate duplicate items from being played?
10 votesDue to technical limitations we can’t implement such feature. We can’t detect duplicate pictures because they may be the same picture but have different name, so we can’t just use the file name to check for duplicate, to really find duplicate this would imply we can check the content of the picture itself and compare all the pictures, this is not possible technical in our system.
We are very sorry about this.

Automatically sync with Flickr photo albums
For some reason, Pix star cannot automatically check for updates in Flickr photo albums. The picture frame should be able to automatically update from all supported cloud services. Implement auto-updating for Flickr and other services which don't currently support auto-updates.

The remote: a function to allow the arrow buttons to work when held down.

FUTURE PRODUCT IDEA - ADD HIDDEN SECURITY CAMERA INTO PICTURE FRAME
These days everyone is installing security cameras throughout their house like (Nest cam, drop cam, netgear cam, etc).
Could you integrate a HD (1080p) security camera into your device that could record pictures or a short video when motion is detected and store them to a USB/SD card inserted into the picture frame.
These could also be uploaded to pixstar's website and be another way to generate income for Pixstar. (like a subscription service).
Otherwise pics/videos would be stored to designated SD/USB device and be overwritten when the designated amount of space is full (oldest deleted first).

can't find the e mail address to ask you a question as the form is not prepopulated with it!
Perhaps you can help anyway. What else do I need to be able to load photos onto the Pix-Star FotoConnect? Memory sticks? SiIMS cards?
Thanks

1 votehello,
you can just send pictures by email to the frame, make sure the frame is connected to your wifi network.
if you prefer you can also use a SD card and from the file manager of the frame you can copy pictures onto it.
for further question send us an email to
info@pix-star..com
our customer support Team will help you.

Display on the frame "Photo Title" using "Photo Title" information contained in EXIF
Currently the frame displays "Photo Title" as the file name. The vast majority of people do not rename their picture files with "Photo Title". Also, using many Web services Pix-star uses a file name with a meaningless RSS number (not the original file name). It will be very useful if an option would be available to display on the frame "Photo Title" using "Photo Title" information contained in EXIF
