Showing pictures and videos in slideshow TV app

Feb 29, 2016 10:04AM PST

My company has several Samsung UN40H5003AFXZA televisions and wants to display slideshows using the built in TV app with pictures and videos. I have tried several times to get it to play correctly, but when I start it, it simply plays all the pictures and skips over the videos. Now when I select one of the videos and start the slideshow, it plays all the videos but skips the pictures. I have the media set to All but still no joy. Any suggestions?

From what I've seen

It's one or the other.

Workaround. Create videos that have those pictures in the video. There are so many slideshow makers today (apps) that I can't list them.

But yes, what you see is what I see.

I apologize for any inconveniences. The television will be able to perform a slide show of photos, as for videos this may not be the case.
