Struggling to make this work using my 5000T. I have some .jpg files in my Pictures shared folder.
Freeview Play - Media - Selecting My Laptop - Pictures Folder - All Pictures shown no files.
I can play videos (recordings) on my HDR-FOX-T2. I will try uploading a few jpegs to it to see if this works.Works for me...on FVP 5000T
Freeview Play - Media - Photo - Computer

Thanks for that Barry. All I get on my Media - Photo screen is the message No Photo File available. Although I haven't created a shared video folder on my computer I get the analogous message No Video File available.
What computer operating system do you use? If it is Windows 10 Pro could you write a step by step list of exactly what you do when sharing photo files. As far as I can remember I shared the photo and the folder. Do I need to share the photo aswell as put it in a shared folder? I'm feeling a bit of a dunce here where it should be a straightforward process?

Interesting - Just tried copying some to my Homegroup photos folder - still can't see them.
Barry what do you see in your homegroup library folders in Windows Explorer ?

Jonathan can you try this - I can't use 5000T at the moment better half is watching Bargain Hunt.
In windows explorer locate your pictures folder - right click and choose properties.
Click on the sharing tab and select share if not already ticked. Now add everyone to the list of who is allowed to share.

I have the same homegroup set up and all PC/Laptops, then just enabled file and printer sharing across my homegroup.

Are you highlighting then pressing OK on your computer in the left hand pane?

Barry/Graham, I did exactly as you describe to share the photo on my computer. I use Open Office/File Explorer but shouldn't make any difference? Left hand pane on Humax says Internal HDD which I OK'd to give Downloaded which when highlighted and OK'd does nothing. Same error message of no Photo Files available! Mmh...
