  2. Great support!

    I emailed for help and got the answer back in minutes. Then responded with another question and got that answer in minutes. Wow! I work at a web company and that's impressive! Thanks.

  3. Replaced Ceiva frame with PixStar

    I finally "killed" my Ceiva frame and account and replaced the whole thing with a PixStar frame and it's e-mail account to friends and family. The thought of paying a "subscription" to store on the Ceiva servers was a very bad business model. Plus their frame size and resolution was terrible and bad WiFi dongle kept dropping my network. I'm buying more PixStar frames for family.

  6. Color on Linked Message

    I am linking photos from Picasa. If the 'Already Linked' message and the 'Not Linked Message' could be in different colors, it would be much easier to differentiate between them.

  9. Please remove the "bounce effect" when manually going thru pictures; it's really annoying!

    The bounce effect is nice the first 2 or 3 times it is used; after that, it just gets annoying; and it is even more so for older people that are not used to this kind of glitz....and of course, older folks are the majority of users.

    The bounce effect also seems to slow down the ability to progress rapidly through pictures. If you must keep this effect, make it optional.

    This brings up another request. It would be nice to be able to manually move quickly through an album. Moving one picture at a time is tedious (especially with…

    Hello,

    Could you contact us by email at ’ info@pix-star.com ’ we will give you an updated version without this bounce effect.

    To navigate more quickly inside an album that is playing in the slide show use the THUMBNAIL this has been design for quick navigation.

    When slideshow is playing, press the MENU button then choose the 3rd button from bottom the thumbnail will open then navigate quickly to the picture you want to show and press OK/Play to play it back in slide show.

  10. Transitions between pictures

    Is there anyway to select what transitions the frame uses to get to the next photo? I would choose to change photos more frequently but the wizy "Fly in" , "Spinning" and "Bouncing" transitions are distracting in a room.

    E.g. I would go for a simple fade in, fade out which would make the frame more subtle and allow me to choose more frequent picture changes.

    YES, you can.

    When the slide show is playing just press MENU button. On the left side a menu bar will show up.

    In this menu bar go to the 2nd button from the BOTTOM named “options”, inside go to “transition” and here select or un-select the transition you want or don’t want.

    Inside there is a simple fading effect transition that you can choose.

    Any problem do not hesitate to send us an email at " info@pix-star.com ".

  11. Dynamically sync photos from Dropbox folder

    Hi,
    I am lokoing at buying a few picture frames for my family.
    I need the frame to be able to connect to a folder in my Dropbox folder structure and dynamically show the contents of that folder.
    When I take a picture with my cell on Christmas Eve, that picture will travel up to a folder in my Dropbox account automatically. I then want the same picture to be automatically downloaded onto the Picture frame and shown for my grand parents :-)

    Does your product support such functionality?

  13. Plan for extra utilization of your server resources around holidays - e.g. Christmas...

    It is reasonable to expect significantly increased traffic around holidays, especially Christmas. Lease extra capacity from providers, like Amazon.

  15. Have the Clock and Calendar hide in the background while weather pages are displayed.

    I currently use the clock and calendar in the top right corner of the screen, however when any of the weather pages are displayed the clock and calendar cover and obscure the information on those pages in the upper right corner. It would be nice to have the clock and calendar disappear when the weather pages are displayed similar to how it disappears when the Daily Information page is displayed

    Actually the 24 hours mode already exist for English language, if you go to the CHANGE SETTINGS menu then to

    AUTO ON & OFF

    menu, at the very bottom you have the TIME FORMAT choice then inside if you choose:

    DD/MM/YYYY

    it will automatically change this to 24 h mode for the time display.

    Hello,

    There is already such feature and it’s quite easy.

    From your account at pix-star.com log into it and go to the left/middle to

    import external pictures.

    then you can import pictures from Picasa or Dropbox easily.

  20. friendlier radio selection in slideshow

    Provide recent radio selector within slideshow. It is not my experience that it auto-returns from radio selection to slides and it's terribly modal as is. Radio selection should be more intuitive at any rate, with recent stations at the top of the options.
