Phone Photos (SGS3) have appeared as a brief loading image at the start of every movie - huh?

this is a problem on the phone

the WD is a DNLA device - which means any DNLA media server can use the WD to render an image for play a video or audio file

The S3 has a particular problem with the DNLA service as part of it’s photo viewer

just google it, lots of post about it

as for why you only see it momentarily

that’s because the S3 sent the photo without any metadata

which while not good, in this case is good, because had proper metadata been sent

it would have appeared on screen, stoping playback of anything the WD was already playing

solution turn off dnla sharing on the S3

but you’ll still need to be careful in it’s photo viewer, it’s unfortunately only 1 wrong touch and it’s enable again

edit: and as for why it’s still there when you turn the phone off

it’s because it’s already rendered on the WD

rebooting the WD will get rid of it, the file was not copied, it’s just in RAM memory, rendered on screen
