I recently purchased a WD TV Play as an inexpensive way to display media (photos and music) at trade shows - it’s simple to just hook up a TV via HDMI, and add photos via a USB device, even without internet handy! So far, it’s been wonderful.
My request primarily is for the transition between photos - at the moment, most of them are very… jarring. Large, pixelated blocks fill the screen before the picture changes, which just looks poor in comparison to today’s screensavers, that do a smooth fade or transition.
The closest transition at the moment is the “Fade” option, which fades from black into a photo… but it doesn’t fade out from the previous one. As such, there is an image, then a sudden black, and then the new image fades in. (I might be reversing this… it may be the other way, my WD TV is packed away at the moment as I just got back from a show.)
Would it be possible to have a smoother transition between images, for a more professional display? Ideally, a true cross-fae between images would be nice, but a fade TO black followed by a fade FROM black would also work. This would make the WD TV Play a KILLER Display Unit, much cheaper than a Display Frame, especially when you get an inexpensive large-screen TV as your display!
Thank you!
