I have some holiday photos in .jpg format stored on a network drive I use solely for sharing content through media share on my HDR1000. When I go to the folder containing the photos, they appear as a list, showing their filenames and a small preview icon, but when I select to view any of them, they will not appear on screen. All I get is a small buffering type circle in the centre of the screen that never ends. Video content from the same source works fine, only the pictures are the problem. The pictures were originally taken on an iPhone and are in their original .jpg format. Is there likely to be a file format problem?

What size are they ? Have you tried reducing the size ? For best performance the pictures should be resampled to 1920 wide (max) or 1080 (high) depending on aspect ratio or cropped to 16:9 1920 x 1080. Unless of course you have a 4K TV. You could try some test pictures taken at a lower resolution.

Try reducing the size to quite small.

Thanks both - the photos were, on average, 2.5mb in size. I've tried a sample batch resized by 50% and that has now worked. Surprised it can't handle the original size though and I do have a 4K enabled TV.

I believe the problem is insufficient RAM.

As Repassac says it's most likely a RAM limitation. TBH there's not much point in using a higher resolution than your TV can handle. Can't the TV play them back at original resolution from a USB stick or via it's own DLNA client ?
